But the advantages of a wise choice, and the many and varied misfortunes that follow a bad one, are more than sufficient to justify a good deal of effort spent before it is too late to change. Indeed, it is not too much to say that a careful look, of the sort that I have tried to indicate, into several subjects that one feels one might conceivably concentrate in will prove to be in itself no inconsiderable...
