KNOWING ONE'S SELF
Br THOMAS ARKLE CLARK
Dmi of Man, Uihtnlljr of
Illinois.
UTD LIKE nothing better," Boat said
^ to m when we ware bo71 a good
many years ago, "than to be able to
run a farm of my own; I know I could
make money," and he launched Into
a narrative of detail In an endeavor
to prove to me just what In auch a
case, he was sure he could accom
plish. Even with my boyish Inexpe
rience, I felt that Boat's plans were
chimerical., and I entertained the grav
est doubts as to his being able to carry
them out If be were given the chance.
He has had a farm to manage, lot
these years, but he Is still a poor man.
it Is a valuable asset and a rare
one, I sometimes think, for a man to
be able adequately and Justly to es
timate hla own strength and his own
weakness, to know what he can do
beat and to know also, what his limi
tations are.
A wise old man whom I once knew
used to say In speaking of the some
what difficult and treacherous game of
poker with which he had considerable
practice, "If a man does not know the
cards, he ought not to play the
game." I am sure that many men
whom I have observed In the gams
of life have had a very faulty ap
preciation of the value of the cards
which they were holding In their
hands, and sometimes threw away
their ace and were disappointed when
they did not take the trick with a
two-spot.
When I was engaged in the teachBg
of composition and an eager boy cams
to me at the beginning of the semes
ter with the statement, "I know I am
going to manage your course an light,
because composition has always been
my easiest subject," I knew almost
to a certainty that I had struck a
man who could not spell, who had no
knowledge of even the elements at
grammar, and whose literary possibili
ties were pretty hopeless.
Powers was a good Illustration of the
man who did not know himself. He
was an unusually dramatic and mag
netic speaker; he had an excellent
brain, good training, and an attractive
physique. He was deeply and sincere
ly religious and possessed one of the
most winning personalities I have ever
known. As a preacher he could have
had any crowd at his feet. He was
obsessed, however, with the Idea of be
ing a business man; yet every busi
ness which he touched collapsed un
der bis hand. He began life with a
modest fortune, but at fifty It was
gone; he had sunk it all In first one
visionary scheme and then another;
but be still kept on convinced that
ultimately he would make his fortune.
There are reasons, I have no doubt,
why few of us know ourselves less
well than we should. We all hate
criticism; we take advice unwillingly.
We attempt the things that we want
very much to be able to do without
considering seriously how well fitted
we are for the accomplishment of
these things. We listen to the flat
terer with a more willing ear than
to the candid friend who sometimes
not very kindly points out to us the
faults we are loathe to admit
