Sbeeiai 10 The Ne70S
Why is it that so many people COM
plainY All you can hear is that my
peaches or my corn or my garden stuff
is all killed and so | am ruined.
They always seem to look on the
dark side II is Gods will. 1t is all for
the best My motto is to look to the
future. Try and forget past trouble.
Waste no time grieving over failures.
The man who never made mistake is
a myth. The man who never failed
| cannot have been a man to venture,
and must therefore be himself fail
ure
The wise man seizes the knowledge
which his errors have taught him, APP
plies it to the future and makes it a
move to wiser living Our failures in
the past are no indication that we are
going to fail again. Let's all forget
our failures and organize them into
victory. Let's look over our disadvan-
tages straight in the face and see what
we can make out Of them, and instead
of worrying and complaining it is best
to go forward on to a new battle and
on to victory, as though there had new
er been failure in our life.
