Whatever path a man takes, he will find encouragement to go further on that path. Naturally, therefore, if a man is not careful as to where he is going he may end up anywhere; he may fall into any pit, any hole; and nobody comes to pick him up once he has fallen. The deeper he falls, the less people will look at him, for everyone, either consciously or unconsciously, is looking for someone who is going upward; no one is anxious to associate with someone who is going downhill. Even his best friends will leave him some day. Therefore to study the mystery of character, to think about it and to build it, is life's main purpose; that is the chief education.
