Advice to a Young Man
Rohert Jones Burdette
Remember, my son, you have to work. Whether you handle a pick
or a pen, a wheel-barrow of a set of books. If you look around, you
will wee the men who are the most able to live the rest of their days
without work are the men who work the hardest. Don’t be afraid
of killing 1 yourself with overwork. It is beyond your power to do that
on the sunny side of thirty. They die sometimes, but it is because
they quit work at six in the evening, and do not go home until two
in the morning. It is the interval 2 that kills, my son. The work gives you
an appetite for your meals; it lends solidity to your slumber 3; it gives
you a perfect and grateful appreciation 4 of a holiday.
There are young men who do not work, but the world is not
proud of them. It does not know their names, even. Nobody likes
them; the great, busy world does not know that they are there.
So find out what you want to be and do, and take off your coat
and make a dust in the world. The busier you are, the less harm
you will be apt 5 to get into, the sweeter will be your sleep, the
brighter and happier your holidays, and the better satisfied will the
world be with you.
