The word is usually associated with raonitary values. If a pro­ fessional man receives a large income for his services he is considered a success. WhetWher a business man is a success or not depends upon his annual balance sheet. In other words the popular mind thinks of success in terms of economic and social values. Those whose names are registered in "Who’s Who" are regarded as a success because a reputation merited them a place in that volume. We all know, however, that it is quite possible to acquire a reputation without achieveing not reflect this popular success. Perhaps there is another idea of success which does notion. Every man who is capable of doing something is a success if he expresses to the best of his ability the talent which he possesses. The world's greatest Teacher illustrated this in the form of a parable. Talents were distributed for investment purposes and later a reckoning was demanded. The one who received many talents received the same reward as did the one of lesser number; but the one who refused to use the one talent he had was condemned. True success always reflects moral rather than material vdlues. Honesty, integrity and thoroughness as well as loyalty are among the traits of char­ acter upon which real success depends. Shakespeare said: "Didst thou never hear thgi^s^sS^s ill got had ever bad success?" -In many small communities a physician^is faithful in his daily practice and enjoys the confidence of his patients^, That man may be a greater success than his colleague who is located in a large city with a much larger practice.'^Just so with the banker, lawyer, and all other professional people. The business man in a small community may be more of a success than the head of a large industry in a big city. "Genius is an inIt must be toiled for. spiration, but a perspiration," said Thomas A. Edison. So with success./it is not an inci­ dent of mere chance. Not so much a matter of opportunity as of perseverance. We cannot com­ mand success but we can deserve it by doing to the best of our ability the thing for which we are best adapted. In these days of artificial values we need to redefine success. ,1 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
