There Is room for each of us to ho a leader in his community, In his work, In his church, and in various organizations. Ono of the Indispensable quail tie* of . leadership is tho ability to persist / steadfastly In the face of discouragements. If George Washington hud not possessed the quality of persistence, he and his soldiers would never have survived the hunger and privations j which wero theirs at Valley Forge. We have too many young men and young women these days saying u Job cannot ho done Too many spend their time explaining why a thing can't he done. Instead of saying, with firm resolve, that It can ho done, and then going out and doing It. Anything that ought to be dono Is capable of being done. And anything worth doing at all Is worth doing well. The fellow who handles a little Job In ft big wny Is always on the road to greater fields.
