The Road to Success % Che By Dr. Holmes W. Merton (The Evening World's Authority on Vocational Guidance.) Coprricht, 1919, by the Press Pubushing Co. (The New York Brening World). The Right Abilities for the Right Position a job, should call out our best fac- ulties, our apt abilities, We should work in It more freely than in any other kind of work. We would get Satisfaction from our work. We would get enjoyment from our work. Enjoyment js a good tonic Work enjoyment is the cheapest enjoyment we can find, because we get paid for it, The musician should enjoy his music,’ the artist should enjoy paint- ing or designing, the business man should enjoy executive life, and the professional man should enjoy the exercise of his skilfulness in his prof.ssion, Often, however, a man ts tn the right vocation, so far as the larger part of his natural abilities is con- cerned, but there is some one mental factor he needs to stimulate, one be needs to urge up to a higher range or make a better working assistant. He may lack the required economy, he may negitct some cautious warn- ing, he may miss one chance after another because he is engrossed in one idea, Or he may have one ten- dency that overreaches and puts a check upon his success, Some of these HMabilities to failure will be noted in future articles, When we try to teach a boy all the things he needs to know about even a simple trade, we .eadily .6 that every vocation of any value requires a variety of abilities to carry it on, When we add to this fact that there ts competition tn all jobs—in all vocations—we realize that the man who is naturally adapted to that particular job has Cecided ad- vantages. If a man is not naturally titted for bis work he is more \han likely working at half-power gears, restless and = disgruntied without knowing why. But how can a man enjoy working at half power?
