You Can Helps Yourself

“Heaven helps those who help themselves” is the results of vast human experience. The spirit of self-help is the root of all genuine growth in the individual.

Even the best institutions can’t give a man active help. Perhaps the most they can do is, leave to develop himself and improve his individual condition. But in all times men have been prone to believe that their happiness and well-being were to be secured by institutions rather than by their own conduct.

Daily experience shows that it is energetic individualism which produces the most powerful effects upon the life and action is constitute the best practical education. Schools, colleges and university, give the merest beginnings of knowledge. Far more influential is the life-education daily given in our homes, in the streets, behind counters, in laboratory, at the hostel and the market, in hospital and in the busy crowd.

This is that finishing instruction as members of society, “the education of the human race”, consisting in action, conduct, self-culture, self-control, -- all that tends to discipline a man truly and fit him for the proper performance of the duties and future life.

In fine, human character is molded by a thousand subtle influences; by example and precept; by life and literature; by friends and neighbors; by the world we live in as well as by the spirits of our forefathers, whose legacy of good words and deeds we inherit. But though these influences, men must necessarily be the active agents of their own well-being and well-doing; however they themselves must be their own best helpers.
