Now give us a moment, please. You do have an ability with animals, and you will do well working with them. Now I will tell you something, dear friend, and I hope sincerely that in later years you thank me, though I do not believe you will thank me now.

For many reasons this is not best for you, nor is it what you really want. But in working toward a goal that is very distant, a goal that will be extremely difficult for you to achieve, you feel subconsciously that you will be excused from failure; if you fail you can then say that it was because so many obstacles were in your way.

I hope I have made this clear, for it is important that you understand me. In the general field, working with animals, however, you have admirable qualities that can be utilized if you use them toward a practical goal. Subconsciously you do not want to be a jockey.

Yours can be a nourishing element within the family, when you do not allow impatience to upset you. You are right in shielding your younger brother. But do not shield him too well.

Nevertheless help temper Pete’s natural enthusiasm with good common sense.
