'coutinuedfrom page 1) what school has taught me, but to relate to you what life has taught me. Life has taught me that food is not what we eat, but what we transform into blood, en - durance, and vitality; that knowledge is not what we read and memorize, but what we assimilate and convert into an active and progressing phil- osophy of life. We know that the sand found in the riverbeds and sea- shores cannot, by itself, con- stitute a solid foundation for construction. But if we mix other materials with the sand, it then becomes a strong, solid foundation that will resist violent storms and eroding waters. The subjects that you memorized independently of each other will wither away with time and will not provide a solid foundation for success unless they are mixed with your spirit, your heart, and your thoughts so that they will shape a strong ersonality cap- able of withstanding the storms and eroding failures of life. Guidelines • What, for example, is the benefit of tudying "history. i.f . the events of the past do not become a lesson for the present and a guideline for the future to show man how the consequences are built upon the premises. Indeed, what i~ the worth of mathe- matics if it does not create and enhance the powers of analysis and synthesis. True knowledge, therefore, is what we transform from our studies into a general culture that arises from the wisdom of the ages. This wisdom will reflect itself by a balanced judgment, an open minded- ness to ideas, and a determina- tion to accept the responsibili- ties laid upon us.

ol the farm did 1101 allow him to study during the day, he studied by the light of the open fire. He persevered in the struggle to attain his aspira- tions and finally stood in the White House of the United States; he said, with his own experience in mind, lhal suc- cess belongs to the laborer and not to the genius. Role of luck .Luck may play an important role in the handling of human affairs, but luck as they say, is not blind. We who do not see when the right time comes and do not hear when the right opportunity knocks at our door, do say that luck 1s blind, but only to hide our apathy and ineptness. Luck is hke the wind that rises at tunes and falls at other times, some- times favorable, many times unfavorable. And the wise man is a person who knows how to handle its disfavor when it falls. Life has tal.ighl me, finally, that human knowledge is con- stanrly progressing, but the spirit of man does not keep abreast of that progress and his heart does not reach the capabilities of his brain. Sci ence has advanced in the last fifty years more than it had ad- vanced in the previous 2000 years. We investigated, under- stood, and lamed the forces of Nature. The earth has shrunk in the face of our explora- tions; we now challenge the other planets. But in the face of all these accomplishments, man has stood startled and utterly inept of controlling his pride, despotism, intolerance, and· hunger for matenahsm. Man's Great Need The heart of.man is still in need of one virtue that will make the earth a world of hap- piness and peace. This virtue is love. Ranks may be ob- tained by people who don't deserve them. Riches inherit- ed by people who do not sweat to gain them. Titles may be conferred on people who do not deserve them. But love is not bought or sold, is not in- herited or bribed for; love is earned You will not obtain the ,love of people, their respect and confidence if you do not love, devote, and sacri- fice for the sake of your fel- lowman. For love is like the sun's ,rays that know no limits or impose any boundaries.

Since then, I have traveled from continent to continent and occupation to occupation, I have been involved in the academic, social and religious fields. I have been exposed to life and all its facets. I have ·tasted its sweet as well as its sour fruits. I have taken from experience and given to it.

Way to Success Life has taught me that pro- ductive work is the only way to success. The ability to work is the greatest fortune that God grants to humanity. Work is more valuable than silver or gold. The road of work may be tough and strenuous, often sown with difficulties and interspersed with failures. But the facing of difficulties and the overcoming of failures with honest hands and clean he rts is the secret to success on llus earth. Those who are trained only to alk easy roads are not apt climb high mountains or C: l e high peaks. Abraham incoln was the son of a rail splitter, but his aspirations we ! beyond the chopping of wood. He taught himself to read from the holy Bible, and whe n the daily requirements

These are the lessons that life has taught me. I learned long ago that knowledge and work are the basis for success, and that love is what trans- forms success into happiness that fil ls the heart of man. Men of this age, do as is ex- pected of you. Walk at the front with hearts open for sacrifice and complete love for God and your fellowman.
