Summary
Listen to episode 681 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Turning Hard Times Into Blessings. Edited and adapted from Character Sketches for Boys and Girls by Henry Davenport Northrop.
Inspirational Podcast Transcript: You may go to school all your life and yet be a dunce. Your head may be a library stuffed with book knowledge, yet you may not know enough to hoe a hill of beans. You may lack that practical wisdom which make a success of life. You may have talents bright as the sun, yet be dependent on very ordinary people. You may be a know-everything, and a do-nothing.
