[Keeping Fit All the Way by Walter Camp]@TWC D-Link bookKeeping Fit All the Way CHAPTER I 12/17
It is safe to say that the next decade will see our youth, and men up to the age of forty, in far better physical condition than is the case to-day. THE PRICE OF SUCCESS The men of this country, with their forcefulness and their ambition, their stern desire to succeed quickly and to work furiously if necessary to obtain that success, are apt to forget that Nature meant man to earn his bread by the sweat of his brow; and that just so far as he departs from this primal method of supporting himself and his family he must pay toll.
Almost before he realizes it the American youth is a staid man of business.
Only yesterday he was a boy at play, and to-day he finds himself known by his first name or nickname only to a few old classmates whom he sees at his college reunions.
He is Judge This or Honorable That.
He has had no time to realize that somewhere he has lost fifteen or twenty years in this wild rush for fortune and fame.
