THE TESR OF CHARACTER
Beginning a thing is easy. It's the sticking to it that is difficult. The test of character is the ability to go on and finish. It is a rare virtue and an exceedingly valuable one, for whatever you have set yourself to do, there will surely come a time of discouragement, when you doubt if, after all, it is worth while. Look out for that time — the time when you are tempted to turn back. It is there that the danger lies. It doesn't matter what your work is — earning a living or making a home or conquering a besetting sin — discouragement is bound to come. Don't give way to it. Be prepared for it and make up your mind to keep on just the same.
