9, The Choice of Companion
Anonymous
A good companion is better than a fortune, for a fortune cannot purchase those elements of character which make companionship a blessing. The best companion is one who is wiser and better than ourselves, for we are inspired by his wisdom and virtue to nobler deeds. Greater wisdom and goodness than we possess lifts us higher mentally and morally.
of a high order is powerful to develop character. Character makes character in the associations of life faster than anything else. Purity begets purity, like begets like; and this fact makes the choice of companion in early life more important even than that of teachers and guardians
It is true that we cannot always choose all of our companions, some are thrust upon us by business or the social relations of life, we do not choose them, we do not enjoy them; and yet, we have to associate with them more or less. The experience is not altogether without compensation, if there be principle enough in us to bear the strain. Still, in the main, choice of companions can be made, and must be made. It is not best or necessary for a young person to associate with Companionship is education, good or not; it develops manhood or womanhood, high or low; it lifts soul upward or drags it downward; it minister to virtue or vice. There is no half way work about its influence. If it ennobles, it does grandly, if it demoralizes, it doest it devilishly. It saves or destroys lustily. Nothing in the world is surer than this. Sow virtue, and the harvest will be virtue, Sow vice, and the harvest will be vice. Good companionships help us to sow virtue; evil companionships help us to sow vice.

by Samuel Ullman
Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind; it is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees;
it is a matter of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions;
it is the freshness of the deep springs of life.
Youth means a tempera-mental predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease. This often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20.
Nobody grows old merely by a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals. Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spring back to dust. Whether 60 or 16, there is in every human beingrs heart the lure of wonder, the unfailing childlike appetite of whatrs next and the joy of the game of living.
In the center of your heart and my heart there is a wireless station:
so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer, courage and power from men and from the Infinite, so long are you young.
When the aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you are grown old, even at 20, but as long as your aerials are up, to catch waves of optimism, there is hope you may die young at 80.

11, Ignorance Make One Happy
Robert Lynd
The average man who uses a telephone could not explain how a telephone works. He takes for granted the telephone, the railway train, the linotype, the airplane, as our grandfathers took for granted the miracles of the gospels. He neither question nor understand them. It is as though each of us investigated and made his own a tiny circle of facts. Knowledge outside the dayrs work is regarded by most men as a gewgaw. Still we are constantly in reaction against our ignorance. We rouse ourselves at intervals and speculate. We revel in speculations about anything at all --- about nbsp; life after death or about such questions as that which is said to have puzzled Aristotle, from night to noon unlucky? lost this pleasure or exchanged it for the pleasure of dogma, which is the pleasure of answering, is already beginning to stiffen. One envies so inquisitive a man as Jewell, who sat down to the study of physiology in his sixties. Most of us have lost the sense of our ignorance long before that age. We even become vain of our squirrelrs hoard of knowledge and regard increasing age itself as a school of omniscience. We forget that Socrates was famed for wisdom not because he was omniscient but because he realized at the age of seventy that he still knew nothing.
Robert. Lindh (1879-1949), British aerials, born in Ireland, was the London Prose has a higher success.

generally use the phone people do not understand how a telephone works, they always call, railway, typesetting machine, aircraft such as a natural thing, just as our ancestors of the gospels is very natural wonders the same. they do not understand, do not ask. it seems each of us study, and understand the scope of some of the very small thing. Most people think that knowledge is outside the day gewgaw. However, we are constantly against our ignorance. Sometimes, we rouse ourselves to think. We will come in handy a problem, and then immersed such as in thinking about life after death, or other problems, such as Aristotle, is said to have plagued the question: luck? This is the music, his mind has begun to stiffen. We are the envy of Joy, in his sixties, when actually started down the study of physiology, but far from most people that age do not know what has been is ignorant. We even give us a little complacent shallowness of knowledge, or even feel the passage of time itself will naturally to all of our knowledge. We forget that Socrates was famed for wisdom, not because of what he know everything, but he found time in his seven-year-old, still do not understand anything.
12, Appeal to American
Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi
In my opinion, the Indian struggle for freedom bears its consequence not only upon India and England but upon the whole world. It contains one-fifth of the human race. It represents one of the most ancient civilizations. It has traditions handed down from tens of thousands of years, some of which, to the astonishment of the world, remain intact. No doubt the ravages of time have affected the purity of that civilization as they have that of many other cultures and institutions.
If India is to revive the glory of her ancient past, she can only do so when she attains her freedom. The reason for the struggle having drawn the attention of the world I know does not lie in the fact that we Indians are fighting for our liberty, but in the fact the means adopted by us for attaining that liberty are unique and, as far as history shows us, have not been adopted by any other people of whom we have any record.
The means adopted are not violence, not bloodshed, not diplomacy as one understands it nowadays, but they are purely and simply truth and non-violence. No wonder that the attention of the world is directed toward this attempt to lead a successful bloodless revolution. Hitherto, nations have fought in the manner of the brute. They have wreaked vengeance upon those whom they have considered to be their enemies.
We find in searching national anthems adopted by great nations that they contain imprecations upon the so-called enemy. They have vowed destruction and have not hesitated to take the name of God and seek divine assistance for the destruction of the enemy. We in India have endeavored to reverse the procss. We feel that the law that governs brute creation is not the law that should guide the human race. That law is inconsistent with human dignity.
I, personally, would wait, if need be, for ages rather than seek to attain the freedom of my country through bloody means. I feel in the innermost of my heart, after a political extending, over an unbroken period of, close upon thirty-five years, that the world is sick unto death of blood spilling. The world is seeking a way out, and I flatter myself with the belief that perhaps it will be the privilege of the ancient land of India to show the way out to the hungering world.
Gandhi (1869-1948), Indian National Movement leader. graduated from the University of London, .1893 in the struggle against racial discrimination in South Africa, many were arrested. After World War I returned to India, advocacy of the British colonial government violent non-cooperation movement life-long struggle for India's independence, gained widespread respect, is known as the The United States calls
[India] Mohandas. intact. Gandhi
In my opinion, the Indian struggle for freedom affects not only to India and the United Kingdom, but also affected the entire world. She has the world one-fifth of the population, she represents one of the most ancient civilizations. She has been out for tens of thousands of years of tradition, and was surprised that the world, some of which remains intact. of course, and other civilizations and tradition, as the purity of Indian civilization has been the erosion of time.
If India is to restore her old glory, then, only when she can be free to do so. I know, the world's attention was this Indian struggle for freedom attracted by the struggle, is not it that we fight for freedom, and freedom is taken by our unique way. From a historical point of view, there are no national records have been taken in this way.
Our approach not violence, not bloodshed, not the means now known, but purely and simply the rational and non-violence, it is not surprising that the world's attention will be aimed at the success of a bloodless revolution, which attempts attractive. And so far, people are still the way the brute struggle against their perceived enemies wreaked vengeance.
opened some big countries national anthem, we will find the so-called curse of the contents of the enemy. They vowed to destroy enemy, and have not hesitated in the name of God and seek divine assistance for the destruction of their enemies. and we in India have to use the opposite approach. We feel that the law of brute domination should not guide the human race because that contrary to human dignity.
if need be, I would wait, instead of bloody means to make my country free .35 years of continuous political career to keep my heart sincerely felt, human flesh and blood flying has hated, the world needs a new way, I thought I, the ancient land of India may have the hunger to show the way the human priority.
13, The Road of Life
William.S.Maugham
The lives of most men are determined by their environment. They accept the circumstances amid which fate has thrown them not only with resignation but even with good will. They are like streetcars running contentedly on their rails and they despise the sprightly flitter that dashes in and out of the traffic and speeds so jauntily across the open country. I respect them; they are good citizens, good ...
