have already referredthe risk of a failure at the commencement of the 
enterprise。

I must insist on it。

A failure at the commencement may easily kill outright the newborn 
impulse towards a complete vitality; and therefore every precaution 
should be observed to avoid it。  The impulse must not be over…taxed。  
Let the pace of the first lap be even absurdly slow; but let it be as 
regular as possible。

And; having once decided to achieve a certain task; achieve it at all costs 
of tedium and distaste。  The gain in self…confidence of having accomplished 
a tiresome labour is immense。

Finally; in choosing the first occupations of those evening hours; be guided 
by nothing whatever but your taste and natural inclination。

It is a fine thing to be a walking encyclopaedia of philosophy; but if you 
happen to have no liking for philosophy; and to have a like for the natural 
history of street…cries; much better leave philosophy alone; and take to 
street…cries。
