in spite of what the graduation speakers say every spring our town's pretty average goes for the out of this plan so far they just because it is average two of these boys and girls will spend some part of their lives in the mental institution jabs to try to keep the people around here have most of them are coerced nobody's else is ever perfect is good diet exercise and rest but there's another side to good advice and that's good mental health comes naturally to most people who are mentally healthy bring up the children to be you get something on your mind i mean why don't you talk about it well  sayings up inside it's when you feel accepting if you're mad and or afraid or worried you've got deleted after it'll come out some other way it's like you losing weight not sleeping me that is quite a few years ago terms graduating today that number one rule for a good man don't have don't bother left your emotions has helped him through many a tough spot course we're talking about some of the for the tennis team a couple of years ago and while we had a lot to learn he has the makings of a fine player but he wasn't satisfied with the slow steady improvement he expected self to be perfect right from the start him boil over himself where the coach finally caught on to what bruce was doing to him self with this demand for perfection sure i think it's fine to keep wanting to improve i understand that but i think you're going out at the wrong way how do you mean well did you ever stop to think how good your game really is here after letting that last point that's just what i'm getting you're worrying too much about the game and you don't enjoy it but gee culture i know i can do better sure you can but the point is you should let yourself get mad every time you miss a point even the world champion can't make every point you can't be perfect you've gotta learn to get more pleasure out of this game so take yourself if you aren't sort of expecting yourself to be perfect it his occasional misses is learning that second work in the habit for keeping in good health good mental him in the habit of feeling right about himself along with that goes that's very important to have that feeling right about other people too that means getting along with having fun with them being part of the group there's no room for bashfulness in good there you'd never guess what he was like a year ago for some reason or another he was convinced that people just didn't like him much  never tried to make friends or to be one of the bunch it was mrs raynor too came to those rescue i think you'd enjoy getting into one of the clubs i don't know i really don't have any time i hear t certainly doing well in chemistry and that's important in photography i don't know chemistry different from photography i think you'll find they will come a good chemist like you in a camera club but you'll have to do one thing  i've been watching you with that kid a long time you're demanding too much from me nobody can be perfect so don't write him so hard when he does something you don't like remember he's a person in his own right his way may be just as good as your way i do think you've been hard on him at times arthur oh but he doesn't told a lie in the way you should he has advantages i never had when i was a boy he has an opportunity to amount to something but let him do it is only way you got him feeling now he is as good as the next fella that's why i hesitate to make friends you know are those cases in many others i've known talking with the parents was important in helping to get things straightened out there's no distress or dislike of others just because they happen to be different well this one more room for good mental health and and see that nancy's but i learned it well in the beginning diploma as the habit of doing something about a problem as soon as it comes  she got busy just as soon now instead of just worrying about it it would have been a lot easier for us as people around here are learning some of the basic rules for staying in good mental health don't bottle up your emotions like love fear anger express them naturally occurs emotions like anger have to be expressed with consideration for others all don't carry a grudge get it off your chest second rule is to respect your own ability always try to improve but remember that you're human the third rule is to respect  treat them as friends and finally when a problem shows up face it it was calmly reasonably and polished and remember that one of the best rules for good mental health is talking out your and feel as if they have a greater chance that ever of the kind of happy useful life which will make a world a better place to live
