DANGERS OF POPULARITY
"Don't be tempted, as most people are to-day, by a desire to be popular witk every idioi you meet " , says Mustafa Kemal. "Masa applause has neither range nor importance. Greatness does not consist of echoing the words of others and of throwing sand in people 's eyes, buf of doing that which is ofvreai necessity to tbe country mnd in marching tetraigbt to one's goal. All softs of people will come along to
you with their own ideas, and will try to divert you from your path. But stick to it! People will place all kinds of obstacles in your way — in tlie convietion that you are not great, xatlier a weakling, without friends or supporters. But in the end you will triumph over all difficultics; and tlien when you have attained greatness, ancl people tell yo'u so, you can siniply laugh in their faces. " '
