A columnist argues that very few Americans will ever reach the presidency, comparing it to a lottery. He cites figures about past presidents, notes the improbability for today’s children, and suggests pursuing steadier personal aims rather than political ambition. He recalls Emerson and Bryant, defends contentment, and endorses a simple life over public office.
