"Let it be your object, then, every day of your life, to be useful to yourself and others. In the morning, ask yourself, 'What useful things can I do to-day? What can i do that will be a lasting benefit to myself? How can I make myself useful in the family? What can I do for my father or mother? What for my brothers or sisters? And what disinterested act can I perform for the benefit of those who have no claim upon me?' Thus you will cultivate useful habits and benevolent feelings."
