The aim of young men

It is not wise for a young man to expect only to be rich,nor is it good for him direct his attention solely to power and fame .The mark that is set before every young man to aim is this -Be Somebody.
A young man who expects to be somebody often turns out to be one.The story told of Disrali is illustrative of the case .On entering public life ,Disrali aspired to be both scholar and orator.He succceeded better in his literary work than in his oratorical efforts.He was at first a total failure as a pulic speaker.However,he felt sure tthat he could overcome every obstacle,and devoted himself with invincible purpose to the trial.Some of his friends thought he was foolish and even cranky.But he stuck to his purpose,and finally accomplished it .He became one of the ripest scholars and most eloquent public speakers that Great Britain has ever produced.
This story is not cited to show that to be somebody is to be a great scholar or a public speaker,or both .Besides a scholar and speakers there are callings which are as noble and as respectable.But a young man must aim high;for ,"It is much better to aim high and not the mark than to aim low and hit it ."
