UNFITNESS

A man who weighs one hundred and fifty pounds on the earth would

weigh only two pounds on the planet Mars, and so could hardly

stand; while on the sun he would weigh two tons and so would

sink, like a stone in the sea, into its hot marshes. Each man is

too light for some places, too heavy for others, and just right

for others. Failing in a work for which he is unfitted often

brings him to his true place.
