We should strive for patient and laborious effort, and the diligent cultivation of opportunities through accurate and keen observations.
No observation, however trivial it might appear, and no opportunity of collecting fresh facts should be neglected.
Develop the habit of observation, let it gain a settlement in your mind, become a constant associate of your life, and started as an activity as the first thought of a journey.
Prepare your mind, therefore, like the canvas of a painter, well prepared for the first and best impressions.
