Excerpt from The Progress System: For Use in Public SchoolsWe are not at rest, we are on a journey. Our life is a steady, ceaseless progress toward an um seen goal.What is the haven toward which you are making? What is the end of life toward which you are drifting or steering? Before we make up our minds how to steer from day to day, we must know where we are going in the long run. Then we can shape our course to fit our purpose. We can change our direction to avoid obstacles and dangers. If we keep the thought of our de~ sired haven clearly before us, all the other points can be more easily and wisely settled.We ought to know what it is that we really want to do in the world. No ship that sails the sea is as free to make for her port as you are to seek the haven that your inmost soul desires.There are really only four great practical ends for which men and women can work in this world, Pleasure, Wealth, Fame, and Usefulness. We owe it to ourselves to consider them carefully, and to make up our minds which is to be our chief object in life.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
