CULTIVATE CHEERFULNESS.
Don't go around With chip on your
shoulder waiting for someone to knock
it of to start something.
Nobody has any use for man or .
woman with . crouch; everybody's
afraid to speak to You for fear you'll
snap 1t them. We oil have our trou.
bles; lisa busy world and few people
have time to listen to another tale of
woe; W must each solve our own prob
lens and what cannot be helped
must Be endured. How much easier
to commence the task with . smile, to
put on . good front and look cheer
ful; don't crose bridges until you get
to them; then proceed hopefully and
not grumblingly. Ifyou do this you
will be surprised how easy that seem.
insly hard task will be accomplished.
Ifyou think your employer is not
paying you sufficient wages, don't get
dissatisfied and grouchy, don't 90
around doing your work sour-faced
and elum, making you feel uncom-
Portable.
The world does not owe you liv-
ing until you have proved your worth.
Forget your Crouch; 60 to work with
. will; do your work 90 we'll, watch
your chance to do little tasks that
tighten your bosses burden, assume
little responsibilities and by oompe-
tent efficient work make yourself 90
valuable to the concern that they can't
do without you. Then you will get .
promotion and raise in salary. 1fyou
had no failures, you would not under
stand what success means.
So much of ones success depends on
your personal equation, the possession
of attractive qualities, and upon your
personality. You can cultivate .
helpful spirit Of cordially, Of large
mindedness, . broad, generous way Of
looking 1t things, it will be IN inesti.
mable advantage; helping you to get
along in the world. Who does not

may not be able to give rich gifts but
We can donate our friend . cheerful

Worries kill more peoplethan work.
Today il yours, tomorrow never comes;
then greet the world With . smile.
Effort does not promise success, but it
u . long step toward it. Fit your.
self for the opportunity; when it comes,
ifyou are prepared, you can grasp it,
make the most of it. Chances for I'd.
vancement- to the top Of the ladder
never were 90 plentiful a. today.
If you are . clerk behind the coun.
ter, greet your Customer pleasantly, if

address . cheerful word to those in
your employ occasionally; they will
extend the cheer and good will to

I recall . Methodist pastor who
used to 90 up and down the isle Of
Lincoln stores into the Office buildings
or factories, his face wreathed in
smiles, and without the Formally of
IN introduction to each, his cheerful.
musical voice would burst forth in such
greetings - Hello, little girl!" To
another, "Were you It Sunday school
yesterdayi" or "Were you At church
Sunday! Why mott" On the street
or in the church pew, the bootblack
and shop girl received - many words
Of comfort and cheer - the society
