    “Depend on yourself”is what nature says to every man. Parents can help you. Teachers can help you. Others still can help you. But all these only help you to help yourself.

    There have been many great men in history. But many of them were very poor in boyhood, and had no uncles, aunts, or friends to help them. Schools were few and low. They could not depend on them for an education. They saw how it was, and set to work with all their strength to know something. They worked their own way up to fame.
