...point out one other thing to you, and that is what we mean by accomplishing something. Are you thinking of reputation? If your idea is reputation, you will get your reward. Reputation is a fairly easy thing to get. A little judicious advertising and a little putting forth of one's self will bring a great deal of reputation. Reward is not necessarily of real value to a man who has a deep, earnest conviction of what he wants to do in life. It is the act which is the life itself, and not the fame of it which...
