Once there was a man who inherited a good name and much money. He did not participate in the life of his community; he dedicated his life to riotous living. He went through the money, spent it on pleasure, and died leaving his money to another. However, a small portion of his money was left to a publisher with instructions to the publisher to prepare an issue his biography.
When the book was finished it was beautiful and costly. The
binding was elaborate. There was a title page and picture of the deceased.
Then on page one was recorded the day of his birth. On the last page of the
book was recorded the date of his death. The rest of the book was simply
expensive blank paper. The biographer was saying that this man was born and
died and in between did nothing for others. How sad! It is sadder, however,
to realize how few parents instill in the minds of their children the
importance of choosing a profession that will benefit society
