Learn Lesson From Failure, but TO
Think Of II Constantly Means
Only Dlseourasement

Every woman is apt to mourn over
the mistakes and failures she has
made, and to think OF them as handi-
caps on future efforts
OF course. we are bound TO regret
things which have turned out wrongly
even. as Is often the case, We acted at
the time with the best Of intentions
None OF us like to think of ourselves
as fools, and when we have made mis-.
takes II ls apt to take the life out of
our EFFORTS. at least for a while. and
siye us a very discouraged and dis
heartened outlook upon life II is but
natural TO feel sorry for our blundera.
and It certainly would not do for us
to pass over them lightly and not think
Of them at all II is exactly as fool
lsh, however. to brood over them and
feel that they can mar our future
work.
Mistakes. failures. blunders. all can
be made useful to us; made TO serve
us II We but go about 1t in the right
way, not regarding them either too
morbidly or too lightly.
II . woman Is TO be successful in

blunder Is made II 10 best TO turn IL

In the days to come.
Don't be discouraged; discourage

face the failure and admit Il frankly
and fearlessly, Don't. above all else,
attempt to make excuses or try to
blame Il upon some one else. At the
same time determine that you will
learn from experience and that the
blunder will not be made again.
Study your mistake. whether II came

The woman who Ia to succeed In life
