Philosophy of Work. .
. Lecture by Harold Kramer
The lecture given by Harold Kramer on last Saturday evening
was an unusually inspiring and helpful one. Mr. Kramer began by saying that his
subject, “Here or Nowhere,” treated the philosophy as he found it was progress
along the avenues of life aiding humanity I every possible way. Our lives are
ships, and we are the masters of them; so we may either steer them towards
success or failure. In lie two opposing forces are always present, namely,
truth and error. Truth may not always be the easy way. Life is not easy. Those
who have solved the world’s problems have worked and worked hard, to do the
worth while things. The easy way is always the way of disaster. Success never
comes by chance. It comes by effort. Some people are inclined to blame heredity
and environment for their failures, but the people who have really made success
in life have been able to live above such things as these.
There is a Divinity, a great, kind, merciful Divinity, one
that is immutable and unchanging. The person, then, that receives the greatest
gifts is the one who works steadily onward. The chance will come to all. What
will you do with it? Put the best into it and life will give you back its best.
In closing Mr. Kramer compared life to a magnificent vase, showing that just as
love or hate are put into it, just so it overflows love or hate.
