Don’t Be in a Hurry, Young Gentlemen
[ There are many young men on earth who fail becanse they
lack ambition and determination to advance. There are many
more whose trouble is hasty ambition. They fail to realize their
present chances in their hurried reaching out for something bet
ter. You may see in any club, poolroom or other resort for
wasting time crowds of young men, smoking and deploring their
lack of success.
“‘l've been working three years at the same job and the
same salary,’’ one will say, ‘‘and I don't see what chance I have
for getting ahead.” i
The young man who talks in this way does not realize that
success depends on developing the qualities which are in him.
He can develop them if he will, no matter what his place in the
world. Once he is ready to do good work, once he is developed,
the work will find him out.
When Napoleon Bonaparte was resting from his labors at
Bt. Helena he used to tell this story:
‘‘One day on parade a young lieutenant stepped out of the
ranks much excited to appeal to me personally. He said to me
that he had been a lieutenant for five years and had not been
able to advance in rank. I said to him, ‘Calm yourself. I
was seven years a lieutenant, and yet you see that a man may
push himself forward, for all that.” "’
Napoleon, when he preached this lesson to the young, dis
satisfied officer, was the self-made Emperor of the French, and
of a great many other nations. He had come to Paris, a thin,
hollow-cheeked, undersized boy from the conquered and despised
island of Corsica. He stuck in the humble grade of lieutenant
for seven years. When the time came he blossomed out.
When he was lieutenant he was developing himself. He
studied-and mastered the art of war. He wrote the history of
Corsica, and no one would publish it. He wrote a drama which
was never acted. Bemuspflnmytcthtlnda‘lzot

was condemned as incoherent and poor in style. These were a
few failures; enough to make your ordinary young man throw
up his hands and say, ‘‘l've done all I can do; now let the world
look out for me."’ , ;
Just as he became hopeful about the future, when he knew
that he had real military genius, he was dismissed from the army,
and his career seemed to be ended. He made the thin soup upon
which he and his brother lived. He could afford to change
his shirt only once a week. He said:
‘I breakfasted off dry bread, but I bolted the door of my
poverty.’’ S : ;
He kept at it, and all the time, successful or otherwise, he
was developing himself. He developed into an emperor. Young
men will please notice that fact, and the fact that Napoleon
worked and tried under. adversity and monotony instead of
grumbling. . :
The newspaper reporter who does not get ahead very fast,
the author whose manuscripts are treated as were Napoleon's
first efforts, may study with considerable profit a young Ameri
can writer named Richard Harding Davis. That young man had
been a reporter in Philadelphia for seven years when he went to
work on a New York evening newspaper at a small salary. He
had written and was writing some of his best stories, but could
not get ahead, apparently. Nevertheless, he kept on trying, and
developed himself. When other young men were busy talking
about themselves or deploring their lot, Davis was writing and
grinding away out of working hours at the effort to get out and
realize what was in him. He succeeded.
A few cases have been mentioned for young men to think
over. They are selected at random. No young man need
worry about himself so long as he can honestly say that he is
doing his best. - Being in the same J)laoe at the same salary for
seven years can do you no harm, if you are developing during
that time what is in you. But you may well worry if {’ou are
drifting aimlessly, pitying yourself, maiiu no effort. your
mind stays in the same spot fa:m that is dangerous. But
don't worry abont anything e ;
