The William S Clark Method

[This is the William S. Clark Method
Shōnen yo, taishi o idake
Boys, be ambitious!]

Cross all the roads I've known
And all the seeds I've sown
You've got to be ambitious

I will leave you all alone
But the one thing you should...

Cross all the roads I've known
And all the seeds I've sown
You've got to be ambitious
You've got to not be vicious

I will leave you all alone
But the one thing you should...

[corrupt, destroying Clark's reputation,
his own finances and the fortunes of many of his friends and family.
The subsequent scandal ruined Clark's health.
He died of heart disease at his home in Amherst in 1886
Dead. Alone. Abandoned. Forgotten
Dead. Alone. Abandoned. Completely forgotten.]

I will leave you all alone
But the one thing you should...
Be ambitious like this old man
[Forgotten in his home state of Massachusetts,
Clark remains a national figure in Japan.
His cultural message still resonates to this day]
