THE BLESSING OF WORK
Sir Frederick Treves, the celebrated English surgeon, recently described the capacity a man has for "working when work becomes distasteful" as the essential quality for success in life. Here are some further aphorisms from his speech:— "If you have a fault, and realise it, you have done nearly half the work to remove it. You are not waiting for good lortune; good fortune is waiting for you, If you want to do well, keep working, keep clean bodily, mentally, and morally-and keep straight. 1 have no great belief either in talent or genius. If they were going to be poets, dramatists, inventors, or artists, cleverness, brilliancy and genius might possibly be of service; but so far as the hard work of life was concerned he was compelled to say he had not witnessed in those around him any striking proof of its great utility.
