Life furnishes us the opportunity to improve,but whether we do it or not depends
upon how near we live up to what is expected of us.The first of each month,a
person should sit down and examine the progress he has made,if he has not
come up to "expectations" he should discover the reason,and by extra exertion
measure up to what is demanded next time.Every time that we fall behind what
we planned to do,we lose just so much for that time is gone forever.we may
find a reason for doing it,but most excuses are poor substitutes for action.Most
things are possible.Ours maybe a hard task,but the harder the task,the greater
the reward.It is the difficult things that really develop us,anything that requires
only a small effort,utilizes very few of our faculties,and yields a scanty harvest
of achievement.So do not shrink from a hard task,for a accomplish one of these
will often bring us more good than a dozen lesser triumphs
