and power to the attainment of sue
cess, and arouses his faculties and
forces to the highest point of eff
cheney. The pessimist waits for bet y
ter times and expects to keep on
waiting; the optimist goes to work
with the best that lis at hand now,
and proceeds to create better times.
The optimist is an inspiration to
everybody; the pessimist lis wet
blanket. The pessimist pours cold
water OH the fires of his OWN abIll-
tv: the optimist adds fuel to those
fires. The pessimist links his mind
to everything that is losing ground;
the optimist lives, thinks and works
with everything that lis determined
to- press on. The pessimist places a
damper on everything; the optlmlst
gives life, fire and goto everything.
The pessimist repels everything; the
oDtimist attracts everything. The
pessimist fights the wrong; the opt-
mist works to increase the power
of the right The optimist is build
ing force: the pess;mist is always
an obstacle in the way OF progress.
The pessimist lives in dark, soggy,
unproductive world, the optimist lives
in that mental sunshine that makes
all things grow"
Do you realize how true all this
is? Don't you appreciate that the
optimist is the successful man? The
optimist is the man who invests for
he believes some good will come from
such an investment, and as every real
fortune that ever was made resulted
from investment, it is optimism that
makes success.
The pessinist is the man who
looks with suspicion upon all invest
ment opportunities, and while he is
hemming and having and falling TO
act. an optimist grasps the opportunity
makes his investment, and gets his
start in life.
It required a generous supply OF
optimism for men to go ahead and
develop what is today the greatest
wealth producer in the world-CalE
fornia Oil Lands-but their optimism
has been repaid.

TIE Optimisf Versus
TIE PeSSin1iSf

1.-The optimist lives under a clear
sky, the pessimist lives in a fog.
The pessimist is confused; he hardly
knows where to go, what to do or
how to act; the optimist is in tune
with the harmonies of nature and
discerns distinctly the onward path
that lies before him. The pessimist
hesitates, and loses both time and
opportunity; the optimist makes the
best use of everything now, and
builds himself up, steadily and sure
ly, until all adversely is overcome
and the object in view realized: The
pessimist curbs his energies and con-
centrates his whole attention. upon
failure; the optimist gives all his thot
