Pushing to the Front

CHAPTER XI
22/23

"The jack-of-all-trades," says one of the foremost manufacturers of this country, "had a chance in my generation.

In this he has none." "The measure of a man's learning will be the amount of his voluntary ignorance," said Thoreau.

If we go into a factory where the mariner's compass is made we can see the needles before they are magnetized, they will point in any direction.

But when they have been applied to the magnet and received its peculiar power, from that moment they point to the north, and are true to the pole ever after.

So man never points steadily in any direction until he has been polarized by a great master purpose.
Give your life, your energy, your enthusiasm, all to the highest work of which you are capable.
