"A Way of Life" is the text of an address that Sir William Osler
gave at Yale University in 1913. He recommends approaching life as
a series of "day-tight compartments," which he likens to the
water-tight compartments that keep a ship afloat. (an Interesting
analogy just a year after the sinking of the Titanic sank). William
Osler's point is that worrying about either the past or the future
is a burden that does nothing but reduce your effectiveness. If you
focus your attention on what you have to do today, then over time,
a string of successful days will make for a successful life. He
quotes Thomas Carlyle: "Our main business is not to see what lies
dimly at a distance, but to do what lies clearly at hand." William
Osler primarily attributes his own success not to talent or
intelligence, but to good habits, consistently practiced, day after
day after day. This is a small book filled with simple, eloquent
wisdom that is every bit as applicable today as it was in 1913.
