Foreword (YHH 7.1)
You travel life’s highway but once. At best, only a few years may be counted as yours. How may you gain the most from them? What blessings do they hold for you? And, most pertinent of all questions, what contribution can you make to the lives of others? (YHH 7.1)
Among life's richest treasures are health, a happy home, true friends, and peace of mind. All these may be yours, regardless of your station in life or financial position. You hold the key in your hand. (YHH 7.2)
If you are to benefit most fully from life’s endowments, you must be governed by certain essential principles. Your actions and attitudes alone will determine the degree of hap­piness you are to enjoy. (YHH 7.3)

This volume is from the pen of an author well known for her many uplifting books. She here speaks not alone from a broad experience in practical affairs, but also from a rich and rare perception of the deeper things of life. The vital principles here set forth have proved a blessing to mil­lions to whom they have been enunciated by Ellen G, White either from the public platform in many lands or through the printed page in the world’s leading languages. Her mes­sage is now brought to you in this popular form.
