What Shall I Do?

Make it the business of the first part of your life to find your forte, and, when you have found it, verily you need ask no other blessedness. Whatever you do in life, be greater than your calling. Most people look upon an occupation or calling as a mere expedient for earning a living. What a mean, narrow view to take of what was intended for the great school of life, the great man developer, the character-builder; that which should broaden, deepen, heighten, and round out into symmetry, harmony, and beauty, all the God-given faculties within us! The only direction in which we can safely move is forward. — C. B. New comb.
