The Brighter Side

IN NE. of the easiest things in the
Il world is to form the habit OF
4: - grumbling. The occasional dis
content at ones lot soon develops into
chronic pessimism. a state of mind that
Sheds gloom around and completely
overshadows the natural brightness of
every normal. healthy. being.
There's an old saying that puts the
matter In a nutshell: IF you can't
have. what you like. like what you
have" Try to see the good that may
lie far beneath the surface of your lot,
but in the effort TO unearth it there will
: be developed a greater strength to with
stand the harder knocks Of the world.
The grIimbler is a very unwelcome
person. He is in a constant state of
.displeasure with everything in general
and with himself in particular: it is a
reputation that few of US envy or covet,
and one that if care be not used in the
daily. attitude toward life, will grow
upon us until we are the slaves of a
disagreeable habit.

Women are not lazy (neither are they
