Pugwash grads encouraged to find something they really love

PUGWASH – The grandson of Cyrus Eaton urged the Class of 2014 at Pugwash District High School to take some advice from his grandfather.
“Cyrus Eaton had a simple formula for success that he shared with anyone who asked and shared with his grandchildren,” John Eaton said. “The formula was find something you really love and then work harder than anyone else. His point, of course, is that if you love what you are doing it does not really seem like work.”
Eaton said his grandfather believed in education and learning. He father was the postmaster and he began his habit of reading newspapers at an early age. Through his life he read five newspapers every morning and loved reading history, philosophy, poetry and Shakespeare.
And just as his grandfather did, Eaton urged every grad to remember that one person can make a difference and big things can happen in small places.
