8."Depend on yourself"is what nature says to everyone.Parents can help you.Teachers can help you.Others can still 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 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.
One of the most famous teachers in England used to tell his pupils,"I cannot make verity men of you,but I can help you make men of yourselves."
Some young men have no idea to be the top one in anything; and they are t o be pitied.They can never achieve much unless they see their weak points and change their courage.They are nothing now,and will be nothing as long as they live,unless they accept the advice of their parent and teachers,and depend on their own honest efforts.
