About this book
A boy preparing for adult life receives plenty of encouragement in Nixon Waterman's collection of advice, anecdotes and verse. The opening presents the working world as a place full of tasks waiting for young people who develop skill, purpose and determination. Waterman speaks directly to his youthful audience, urging boys to train their minds and habits while they consider the work they hope to undertake.
Short poems sit beside prose reflections and sayings from other writers. The contents cover patience, opportunity, spare time, health and the difference between dreaming about a task and doing it. In the middle excerpt, cheerfulness becomes a matter of consideration for others, with an emphasis on kindness toward people whose troubles may be hidden.
