The Failures of Changing Pursuits
The writer argues that success comes from sticking to one line, citing lawyers who focus on law, merchants who stay with trade, and mechanics who remain rather than chasing quick riches. He contrasts steady work with restless, itinerant choosing new ventures and warns it leads to insolvency. The piece ends noting many prosperous men have fixed focus and perseverance.
