It is wise to divide the day equally as is suggested, and do something during sixteen hours, and sleep the other eight hours. This is scientific, and leads to good health, long life, and, if you do not speculate, leads to wealth, at least to a good living.
FIT YOURSELF FOR SOME TRADE OR CALLING
What do you intend to do for a living?
Plenty of time to decide that, you say for yourself or for your boy.
You deceive yourself, for there is not plenty of time. You must decide early, and educate yourself for the trade or calling you have decided to follow.
You must have some definite aim in life. Nobody can fix one for you. You know best what you can do, what you would like to do, and what sort of an education you need to do it.
Things move swiftly in these modern times, and you must decide quickly, or fall behind in the race to the life goal.
Others are treading on your heels and you must go ahead or fail out altogether, and the procession is so large, and so closely packed that you can not wedge your way in again without a hard struggle.
Do you want to be a farmer? Study farming, and everything that pertains to farm work.
Perhaps you would prefer to be a doctor. Well, then you must study for a doctor’s profession and let farming alone. If you are built for a doctor you can be one, but you should study yourself carefully and take advice on the subject.
