  “Depend on yourself” is what nature says to every man. Parents can help you. Teachers 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 childhood, and had no uncles, aunts or friends to help them. Schools were few and not very good. They could not depend upon them for education. They saw how it was, and set to work with all their might(力量)to know something. They worked their own way up to fame.

  One of the most famous teachers in England used to tell his pupils, “I can not make worthy men of you, but I can help you make men of yourself.”

  Some young men have no ambition(雄心)to excel(拔尖)in anything, and they are to be pitied. They can never accomplish(成就) much unless they see their weak points and change their course. They are nothing now, and will be nothing as long as they live, unless they accept the advice of their parents and teachers, and depend on their own honest efforts.
