Attainment
[Written Especially for Young People]
A managing director of a large industrial concern had a call one morning from two young men. They were approaching the age when they would be choosing their careers and joining the wage-earning population. Both had received similar education, and had been given equal opportunities. Yet the difference between them, as shown by their appearance and records, was striking. One had evidently made the most of the opportunities which had been offered him: he had been industrious, and was alert, obedient, and teachable. The other appeared to be undisciplined, to lack control, to be pleasure-loving, and to have given little serious thought to his future.
After their departure, the managing director found himself reflecting on the contrast between them. One he was sure would get on, and would do well; he had no anxiety about him. But what of the other boy?
No one entering the business world need have any fear of the future if he will but turn to the teachings of Christian Science, study them, and endeavor to put them into practice. Such a one may ask, How will these teachings help me? Will they find me a position, give me employment, work that interests me, and an income which will provide me with a livelihood?
