The "I Cant's" are numerous and ubiquitons. Their
numbers are astonishing. A curious statistician estimates
that about one-half of the children born into the world, are
furnished by Nature with a remarkable lingual facility for
the utterance of this brief and cowardly sentence. Neither
time or experience enables them to abolish from their vocabulary
these fatal words, and from the cradle to the grave, they
drag a slip-shod life spent in accomplishing nothing from
the fact, that they lack the energy and will neccesary to
accomplish.
These human drags are recognizable anywhere under any circumstances,
history furnishes many examples to need illustration at our
hands. Of titled members of the order, of the lower degree,
the world is cursed with a less number than formely, for the
reason, that the race is dying of insanity; but in the great
world, among the masses, it is astonishing what a host of
drones share the honey of the bees' gathering. Regarding everything
they do as a harship, looking upon labor as an evil, it seems
to be a sort of moral duty with such men to do as little as
possible, and get all they can for it. "I Can't,"
is their shibboleth and shield. Propose to them the accomplishment
of whatever new work, anything out of the beaten track, any
little addition to what they have done, and see! how, like
trained jack-daws their beaks fly open without a moments consideration
of the possibilty of desirability of the doing and, out it
comes! like the "pretty Polly!" of a pet parrot
"I can't!"
We have said you may know them everywhere, in the legislative
halls, on the battle-field, in the council-chamber, at the
bar, in your house, at work, for they are spawned everywhere;
and among all classes of industrials, merchants or mechanics,
you may know "I can't" as well by what he does,
as by what he will not try to do; and a miserable, mumbling,
mealy-mouthed, mountain-rising, and mole-hill moving mummy
of a man, will you find him in any of these persuits. He is
always for delay. "He has'nt time, or he has'nt the tools;
he lacks means; or he must have more help," you "had
better wait ," or he knows "it is impossible;"
anything rather than do it. "I'll try!" never comes
into his head, as it did into Captain Bragg's; to try being
just what he wishes to escape from; while to say "I can't,"
is the easiest, as well as the meanest method of accomplishing
his desire.
These are questions which all the past have asked, and which
all the future will continue to inquire. None ever acknowledge
its full attaintment. To most the shadow of its approach is
never visible. What is it that every individual desires-in
some measure, at least; strives for, yet never finds? Is it
a reality or a fancy? the cob of corn fastened by a pole before
a donkey, which advances as he advances; just before but never
reaches, but to attain which he toils and strives? or is it
an ignus fatuus, which deludes by false glare and brightness,
and vanishes just when reached?
Man is so constituded that fatigue and disgust come with
the object sought. This world conquered, it is thereforth
worthless, and new worlds are longed for. What was once supposed
to be success, is found to be of naught. The astronomer enlarges
his insturments by his endeavor to examine an indistinct planet;
but his double telescope reveals to him new stars and opens
to him new systems of which he had not before imagined. There
is always something beyond, and discontent in consequence
will always be the lot of man.
At times and in certain cases, it is hard to say what is success.
Did Milton obtain it? One of the greatest works of man was
the result of his labors. Posterity and futurity acknowledge
his claims, but the present gave him poverty and neglect,
and his fate has been that of many since. Is that success?
How is the question answered?
One very important requisite at the present day is to gain
the public attention. All seem aware of this, although some
will not descend to forcing it. Still it is indispensable
that there be real merit at the bottom, to satisfy after having
attracted. Genin must not be content with turning the community
by signs and paintings toward his warehouse, or by putting
his name and business into the mouths of an entire people.
He knows that now that he is universally spoken of, it is
of the utmost importance that it be commendingly, that his
merchandise be good of its kind, and his character unimpeached.
The theories of today have grown up with a mushroom rapidity
and are eagerly embraced, but time shows that they lack substance
and a true organized vitality, and subsequent analyzation
reveals that the thin froth raised up by a rapid yeast contains
no substance, is mere air no better than a soap bubble which
glittered in the light, till the beams of a sun rapidily evaporated
it, and showed the emptines within.
Look at the visions of the past, the theories of great thinkers
and the systems of philosophers, once the reverenced opinions
of entire nations, and we wonder how they could have ever
been for a moment credited. Was this success?
And it doesn't require centuries to effect these changes.
Success is the peace of mind which springs from right impulses
and which promises a serene future. Peter Cooper was considered
successful when he had accumulated his hundreds of thousands;
and when he afterward received the grateful steem of a city
and a nation. But higher than all, his success must be found
in his internal sense. Fire, war, and revolution may destroy
every trace of his charitable magnificence, but the growth
of soul, heightened and stimulated by acts like his, cannot
be forgotten.
Now I have found an amazing yet simple way to achive success,
network marketing on the web is a powerful way to reach this.
What if all the tools were provided to you, simple know-how
step-by-step instructions. Do you want to work for 40 years
or more to make $40,000 a year or less, just so you could
retire on 40% of what wasn't enough in the first place? Did
you know the U.S. Social Security Board reports that 85 out
of 100 Americans reaching age 65 don't aquire as much as $250,
and only 2% are self-sustaining (the rest dependent on family,
church, or the goverment). Want to know what the "2-percenters"
know that you don't know?
