whole affair, (and I've gone through plenty, particularly those of frustration and recrimination against an unjust deal), I always come back to the same, simple, obvious answer I have always arrived at before - if I take hold of myself and give to my personal and my business life all that I have in an effort to comply with a game of living my conscience for years has told me I should play, the result can only be success, content, peace of mind, happiness, a knowledge of achievement. For in all the years I have known this, dating perhaps back to 1923 at Star Island, when I got my first really clear picture of what life should and could be, I have toyed with the idea for a few days or a few weeks at a time, and then lapsed back into the old shiftless, hit or miss game. It is a miracle to me I have been able to come as far as I have running as I have said before, virtually on half throttle.
 
Today my course lies clearly ahead and it is the same course that I have seen there many times before to start only to abandon soon and thus fail to gain those objectives I know are the ones I want. Today that course promises all it ever has and I see no alternative but to follow it this time and stay on it. There will lie all the answers to the present perplexing and disturbing situation. If once and for all I take hold of this game as I have long known I should and play it consistently as I know I should and can, then all the worries and problems of keeping an even keel will disappear and life will be the long white road of beauty and fascination I have long known it can and should and ultimately must be. Let us start now, not to stop!
