The Highest Ambition.
Have you ever set yourself to a
task, with the idea before you that
you would do that task better than
anybody else could do it, and have
? * you worked at it with that euthusivI
- -
v ?-?fc onuv; pleasure mat Kuowb nothing
but success, then accomplish it ,
with a satisfaction and a feeling that
you had clone it so that the most
critical would approve?
If you have, you have known one
of the great pleasures of living, for i
after all if we are not able to get j
pleaseure out of work we will never
know what real pleasure is. i
It is more often than not that a
man attacks a task with the sole j
idea to accomplish it, to finish it in
the shortest time possible or even in \
good fashion and do it well; but it *
is the ambition to do it better that (
brings with its accomplishment the |
greatest amount of pleasure.Given
a job at which we must earn our
daily bread, and given the knowledge
of how we must set about to
accomplish the end, there is often
little else before the eyes of the over- 5
Bo.&r or superintendent, and though l
the work may be done successfully .
S and well though there may be no {
m ** room for complaint nt the office there ;
is still room for improvement in that ;
room or mill, and that improvement '
will come, not with a radical change <
In the methods in vogue, but, in the <
attitude of the overseer or superin- j
tendent to his work.
The man is familur to us all who
starts his room in the momiug and
stops it at night feeling thatanother >
day's work is done feels simply that J
he has come to the end of another
day, and that in the morning it must S
all start over again, with the
pleasure of seeing the night come
when his work will cease. It is the
case everywhere, and it the excep- 1
tion to find when stopping time , \
comes that the accomplishment of
a certain task is looked back at
with proud pleasure, and the taking
up of work in the morning is anticipated
because it is going to bring 1
up some new phase of work, some j
new question as to the best way in t
which to accomplish an end, and a
new puzzle to solve. It is the pleas- ;
ure of combatting the methods
and accomplishments of others, the j
feeling of comparing results with
results obtained by others, and the
constant ambition ever present that
whatever must be done must bedone
better than anybody will do that
same thing that marks success. It
i **r has always been this way, we can
see it illstrated in the lives of any I J '
of the great men whose biographies
we read, and we can see it illustrated
in the everyday life any suecess#..i
?
ui man wihiiii we may onscrvc
and it is going t? be necessary to
the success of our own lives, and the
proper accomplish meint of an>
ambition we may have ?Textile
Munufucturer.
