2、e great, and labeled them accordingly. To live with a high ideal is a successful life. It is not what one does, but what one tries to do, that makes a man strong. “Eternal vigilance,“ it has been said, “is the price of liberty. “ With equal truth it may be said, “ Unceasing effort is the price of su
3、ccess. “ If we do not work with our might, others will; and they will outstrip us in the race, and pluck the prize from our grasp. Success grows less and less dependent on luck and chance. Self-distrust is the cause of most of our failures. The great and indispensable help to success is character. C
4、haracter is crystallized habit, the result of training and conviction. Every character is influenced by heredity, environment and education. But these apart, if every man were not to a great extent the architect of his own character, he would be a fatalist, an irresponsible creature of circumstances
5、. 2 Thus far, our holiday has been simply a friendly sign of the survival of the love of letters amongst a people too busy to give to letters any more. As such it is precious as the sign of an indestructible instinct. Perhaps the time is already come when it ought to be, and will be, something else,
6、 when the sluggard intellect of this continent will look from under its iron lids and fill the postponed expectation of the world with something better than the exertions of mechanical skill. Our day of dependence, our long apprenticeship to the learning of other lands, draws to a close. The million
7、s that around us are rushing into life, cannot always be fed on the mere remains of foreign harvests. Events, actions arise, that must be sung, that will sing themselves. Who can doubt that poetry will revive lead in a new age, as the star in the constellation Harp, which now flames in our zenith, a
8、stronomers announce, shall one day be the polestar for a thousand years? 3 Honesty is not a problem only in the sphere of our social engagements. Honesty is also important psychologically, as regards our feelings about ourselves. Here the important question is: Can I be honest with myself? We exhibi
9、t an amazing agility in avoiding the truth about who we are and what we do. Our failures in being honest with ourselves are instances of self-deception. And all of us are, have been, or could be self-deceivers. We are prone to it, capable of it, and never more likely to be in its grip than in those
10、moments when we are sure we are not. As people of faith, we are called to be honest in our dealings with God, with others and with ourselves. Self-deception can disrupt all of those relations. It is therefore appropriate to consider what self-deception is and how our faith tradition has attempted to
11、 enlighten us, to “build us up“ , so that we might be able to respond to its threat. 4 Its an odd paradox: thanks to cell phones, PDAs and the Internet, weve never before been in touch and within reach of so many people. And yet, weve never been so lonely, either. Which is to say, our loneliness is
12、largely something weve inflicted on ourselves through countless lifestyle choices, many of them good, some even critical. But in the end, is it all worth it? What is lost when we have e-mail pals on the other side of the world, but dont know our own neighbors? Are bigger salaries, bigger cars, bigge

14、ction with another human being. Theres no easy way out of our collective loneliness, and no solutions that come without trade-offs. But some of those trade-offs are worth reconsidering, lest we consume our lives with the things that matter least, at the expense of those that matter most. 5 Actually,
15、 what occurred to Einstein was something more like the beginning of a solution to the problem of gravity, since it had been evident to him from the outset that one thing missing from the special theory was gravity. What was “special“ about the special theory was that it dealt with things moving in a
16、n essentially unimpeded state. But what happened when a thing in motionlight, above all encountered an obstacle such as gravity?
