Youthful men after they get through their enterprise exercising,
or apprenticeship, instead of seeking their avocation and
rising in their enterprise, will often lie about doing
nothing. They say, "I have acquired my enterprise, but I am
not going to be a hireling; what is the item of learning
my buy and sell or occupation, unless I determine myself?

There is no higher error than when a youthful man believes
he will be successful with obtained cash. Why? Because every
man's encounter correlates with that of Mr. Astor, who
said, "it was more challenging for him to obtain his
first thousand $, than all the thriving millions
that created up his heavy lot of money." Cash is excellent for
nothing unless you know the value of it by encounter. Give
a boy 20 000 $ and put him in enterprise, and
the possibilities are that he will drop every money of it before
he is a season mature. Like purchasing a admission in the sweepstakes,
and illustrating a award, it is "easy come, simple go." He does
not know the value of it; nothing is value anything, unless
it expenditures attempt. Without self-denial and economic climate, patience
and persistence, and beginning with investment which you
have not gained, you are not sure to be successful in
accumulating. Men, instead of "waiting for deceased men's
shoes," should be up and doing, for there is no category of
persons who are so unaccommodating in reverence to passing away as
these wealthy old individuals, and it is lucky for the
expectant children that it is so. Nine out of ten of the rich
men of our nation to-day, began out in life as poor
boys, with established wills, market, persistence,
economy and excellent routines. They went on progressively, created their
own cash and stored it; and this is the best way to acquire
a lot of money. Stephen Girard began life as a bad cottage boy,
and passed away value nine thousand $.
