It is the doing of things that make them easy to do; practice makes perfect. As Emmerson says, "do a thing and you shall have the power.” Things may come to you which you would rather not do, yet the very hardest of them may be the gateway to something nobler and grander, indeed it is sure to be if you do your part. There is a place for each of us—a place which will serve to bring out the best of our nature. We need only to stop dreaming of great things to be done and things that might be done somewhere, somehow, sometime, and come right down to the doing of the things right here at hand and we shall all find our place; all find and follow the road to success.
