On September 2, 1903, on the 25th anniversary of the Boys Own Magazine, Sir Frederick Treves advised the young boys of England,
Don’t worry about genius and don’t worry about not being clever. Trust rather to hard work, perseverance, and determination. The best motto for a long march is “Don’t grumble. [...]
School is well underway for most of us, and we are far enough into the year to begin feeling behind. Stressed, we begin looking over the fence at the Jones’, where the grass is always greener and the children never whine.
