I bought this bookmark many years ago. I don’t know how many years now;
I seem to have had it forever. I kept it in the jacket of an important file
where I keep my investment papers and stuff, for no other reason than that it’s
easily accessible there. I do not like it so much as a bookmark as for what
happens to be written on it. Somehow the words have a very inspiring quality.
It’s been long since I took it out and when I read it yesterday I felt the full
force of the truth of the words. I guess the reason for that will have to wait
a few months… but until then, here it is…
There are rules to luck, for
to the wise not all is
accident.
Try, therefore, to help luck
along. Some are satisfied to
stand politely before the
portals of Fortune and to
await
her bidding, but better
those who push forward,
and who employ their
enterprise, who on the wings
of their worth and valour
seek to embrace luck and gain
her favour.
