Most men and women pass through life without ever considering or criticizing 1 their own conditions or those of the world at large.They find themselves born into a 2 place in society，and they accept what each day 3 ，without any thought beyond what the immediate present requires.They seek the 4 of the needs of the moment，without much forethought，and 5 thinking that by sufficient effort the conditions of their lives 6 be changed.A certain percentage，guided by personal 7 ，make the effort of thought and will which is necessary to place themselves among the more 8 members of the community；but very few among these are seriously concerned to secure for all the advantages which they seek for 9 .Only a few rare and exceptional men have that kind of love toward 10 at large that makes them unable to endure patiently the general mass of evil and suffering， 11 of any relation it may have to their own lives.These 12 ，driven by sympathetic pain，will seek for some new system of society by which life may become richer， more full of 13 and less full of preventable evils 14 it is at present.But in the past such men have，as a rule，failed to interest the very victims of the injustices 15 they wished to remedy.

I am an American.Perhaps that 1 me a little biased，but I believe that the American presidency is the most 2 job in the world.It’s a job that goes up for grabs 3 four years.The candidate who wins in November of 2000 will take office the following January and be the 4 new U.S.president of the twenty-first century.

The election campaign is a 5 one.Some say it begins right after the election and goes on for the next 6 years.That’s probably an exaggeration，but it does last a long time.Those who have their eyes on the job have to start 7 support and building campaign organizations early.

Some believe that the campaign for president should be 8 .I disagree.A long campaign is an endurance contest.It gives the 9 a chance to show their strengths and 10 them to betray their weaknesses.The extended scrutiny makes it much less likely that the 11 will accidentally choose an unqualified candidate to be their leader.

12 ，I enjoy the contest.It’s a marathon that produces a 13 who may have a profound effect 14 all our lives.You can have your playoffs and your championships；the debates，primaries，conventions，and November 15 are the sporting events that really matter！
