Some men wish and must have for their complete happiness a home in the city, a farm in the country, a summer cottage up north and a winter place in the south while some other man would be equally contented with a modest and comfortable home just far enough away from the heart of town to be reasonably quiet and home-like. Some men want to be members of many clubs, societies and associations and some other man is happy with his one membership in a golf club or an athletic club or in some one lodge or association where he can meet and mingle with the right sort of men. Some men desire several motor cars of different types with a man to drive them and another to look after them while some other man is just as happy with one car of modest cost and many men have no desire whatever for an automobile. Some men must have an extensive wardrobe with different clothes for different days and different parts of the day, while some other man is quite content with his everyday suit and a good Sunday and holiday outfit. Some men want more and some men want less and each man has a right to satisfy his desires and ambitions, if he can. He has a right to work for what he wants and, if he works hard enough, the chances are pretty good that he will get it. The man who sets a goal and strives for it is likely to get there; he may be late in arriving but he is reasonably sure to arrive. The man who sets no mark ahead for which to strive is not likely to get very far. His is a purposeless life and he will never be known for the things he has accomplished. The man was wise indeed who said: "Aim high and you will surely hit something; aim low and you will surely hit the ground." The man who aims high may not reach his goal but he will get a lot nearer to it than the man who aims low or shoots without aiming at all. Whenever a man makes up his mind that he is going to have a certain thing, he is already about half way on the road to getting it, whether it be wealth, fame, position, a home or merely a job.
