Don't Be Cheap.

Do not hold yourself too cheap. If
you do not think well of yourself 9th
ers are not likely to think much of
you. You are usually taken at your
own value. BY this is not meant a
foolish self conceit. but a proper self
respect.
Have a regard for the esteem OF
those whose opinion is worth having.
No one can be admired by all. He
who has no enemies may doubt wheth.
err he has real friends. Try to win the
regard of the good and the wise. II
the foolish take offense, pass 1t by.
Think too well of yourself to stOop
to anything coarse, mean or untrue
However humble your station in life
may be, you may think yourself
worthy only of that which is good and
true. To be genuine puts you on q
high level. Whatever your purse, you

can attain, Aim for the highest you
