A Scholar asked his Master:
Could you advise me of a proper vocation, Master?
The Master replied:
Some men can earn their keep with the power of their minds.
Others must use their strong backs, legs and hands.
This is the same in nature as it is with man.
Some animals acquire their food easily, such as rabbits, hogs & goats.
Other animals must struggle for their food, like beavers, moles & ants.
So you see, the nature of the vocation must fit the individual.
But I have no abilities, desires, or imagination, Master,
the scholer sobbed.
Have you ever thought of becoming a salesman?
. . . the Master queried.
