I found the following piece helpful in how one goes about to find a career path. "If our will and sympathy and our capacity exists regarding a certain vocation, it will take a very slight stimulus to guide us into the proper channel. But unless the career is in harmony with our natural aptitude, it will prove neither prosperous nor tranquil. Dryden tells us that -- "What the child admired, The youth endeavored, and the man acquired."

Milton's thoughts are along the same theme;

"The childhood shows the man, as morning shows the day." And therefore it is of vital importance that in childhood we should be surrounded by everything that can assist in elevating, purifying, strengthening --- everything that will cherish our good impulses and master our inclinations to evil --- everything that will cultivate all that is true and honest, simple and generous in our nature." W.H. Davenport Adams.
