Whatever career you may choose for yourself - doctor, lawyer

Whatever career you may choose for yourself - doctor, lawyer, teacher - let me propose an avocation to be pursued along with it. <br/>Become a dedicated fighter for civil rights. <br/>Make it a central part of your life. It will make you a better doctor, a better lawyer, a better teacher. <br/>It will enrich your spirit as nothing else possibly can. It will give you that rare sense of nobility that can only spring from love and selflessly helping your fellow man. <br/>Make a career of humanity.<br/>Commit yourself to the noble struggle for human rights.<br/>You will make a greater person of yourself, a greater nation of your country and a finer world to live in.
