Do you (know) that many people are drifting without any definite idea of life because they failed to grasp the “I can” habit? Thus it was, that Reverend Joseph Peele began his chapel talk last Wednesday morning.
He stressed the importance of acquiring right habits early in life. The speaker further emphasized the fact that the world liked to see a young man with ambitions which are destined for success in spite of difficulties.
“To do the impossible takes some thought,” said Reverend Peele, “but look at the inventions and miraculous achievements which have come from those who learned the ‘I can’ habit.”
In closing, Mr. Peele gave some figures illustrating the advantages of an education. He told the students that 88 per cent of the names (in) Who’s Who appeared there as a result of education.
“If one has determination to succeed, be ready to make the difficult plays in life.”
