The Cost of Neglect
I
NDEED, there are all kinds of neglect; and there are plenty of men who have within themselves quali-
ties which might make them leaders; but, they have remained nonentities all their lives, simply because
they have not only neglected opportunities, but they never have worked to create them.
Now, fortune does not keep a waiting" list and neglect to guard one's interests is oft-times the true
reason why men never advance beyond the mediocre state. .
Jn all degrees of life there is stupid neglect and priceless treasures are oft-times neglected.
1 low could that superb creation of Leonardo da Vinci have been taken recently by a thief from its
restingplace in the Louvre unless there was the grossest carelessness exhibited by those who had it di-
rectly in charge.
Think of allowing so valuable a picture unguarded so that it could be easily taken from its frame
without the attendants missing it. Da Vinci, whom Thomas A. Edison said possessed "as great an in-
ventive genius as ever lived," created his world renowned "Mona Lisa." He painted into his master-
piece his brain and soul and no one who has gazed upon his marvelous painting will ever forget the
"Mona Lisa" smile. It remains with one through life.
The artist painted into this face his miraculous knowledge of character and the spiritual essence re-
mains upon the canvas.
The picture was almost beyond price. It is said England offered five million for it; and, yet,
through criminal neglect a cunning thief was permitted to cut this masterpiece from the frame and now
the owners are unable to locate it.
! . . •
Talk about neglect! This is a monumental case; and, yet, neglect to a lesser degree is halting men's
progress everywhere.
.
. . . .
..
. .:
All of us may not possess masterpieces in intellectual resources, but whatever we have needs guard-
ing so that neglect will not completely demolish our chances for progress!
To neglect opportunity is stupid and yet there are some people so foolish that they expect opportu-
nity to always show with keys in hand ready to unlock the golden doors and bid them enter and partake of
things sumptuous.
The really great men have no such word in their lexicography—they do not know its meaning.
