THOUGHTS ON BUSINESS
BY
WALDO PONDRAY WARREN
ALL WORK A SCHOOL
THE man who gets the most out of life Is the man who
lives to learn. An old man, walking by the banks of a
river, said to his grandson: "See this river, my child.
It has a different Interest for every one of us. That man yon
der thinks of It merely as a place to fish. The boys down
there think of It as a swimming pool. Tho man who owns
the sawmill considers It a part of his workshop. Those young
people In the launch think of It as a pleasure stream. Tho
farmer finds that It enriches his fields. The cows come down
to drink. The old settlers tell us of a battle that wac fought
near the bend. And you and I find It a many-sided object
lesson. For you are soon to go out Into the world, and you
will find life like this river. You will observe that every man
thinks of it from his own standpoint. Some are Idlers along
the banks waiting for chance to bring them what they want;
some row up stream and some float down; some find refresh
ment, some only pleasure; some see only the hard work; and
some are looking back at the past, thinking of the battles that
have been fought In years gone by. But you and I will find It
a great object lesson a 6chool where all the activities of men
and women become lessons, and where progress in wisdom
and goodness Is the chief motive In all that we do."
