What is truer than one could imagine and most difficult to understand is the fact that even all this fails to discourage real ambition— which is as it should be! The one who "gets there" is the one who "sticks," and these experiences of others, however bitter they may be, should serve to separate the goats from the sheep—to utterly discourage and weed out those who are entirely unfit for the work, and to bring into the minds of those really qualified more serious thoughts of their undertaking, since it is to be "playing" which will mean work, hard work, and not all pleasure and happiness.
