This motivational essay by English writer and Anglican cleric Rev. Sydney Smith, urges all not to be afraid to use our talents to get ahead in life. I transcribed it in Centennial for the blog.

Carlos, thank you very much for this. It is nice to make progress, — I am able to read and understand more. 🙂
Glad to know!
Thanks for the motivational shorthand! I could read this easily!
You're welcome. This was probably one of the hardest pieces to write, because of the elaborate sentence constructions and the vocabulary.
Hello, I moved and I’m back.
I want to know if it’s possible to have the transcription of the text in english.
I’m interested by the subject but I only know French Gregg and it’s almost impossible for me to understand a word of this text. So, I’m a bit frustrated.
Please.
This essay was taken from the book Wit and Wisdom of the Rev. Sydney Smith, which is available on Google Books. The essay is on page 201.
Thank you, Carlos.
This man, Rev. Sydney Smith was indeed a interesting man, a wiseman.
You're welcome!
