SMILE WHEN YOU LOSE.
Then Brace Up and Start Right In to
Become Winner.

Then Brace Up and Start Right In to
Become q Winner.
Be as good loser as you are a win
ner-a hard task to set man. but
not an impossible one. Many have
met It Those who have are those who
win more than they lose. for nothing
inspires success or victory like calm
ness In defeat or GOODNESS under stress.
1t is true in business. in politics, in
sports. In any sphere Of competitive
endeavor.
Not only that. but nothing is quite
as disconcerting to ones opponent in
one of Ifes contests as the ability to
lose with a smile and well directed eff.
fort to regain the lost Any man who
has run a foot race or boxed or wres-
tied or played ball knows that,
But nobody has any time for the
man who is forever lamenting his own
loss or defeat The world simply cred
its him with being what it terms a
Crouch" which means a poor loser.
and passes him by for a more agree
able man, Any one can be a good win
ner. but 1t takes a man to be a good
loser
The philosophy Of life itself teaches
that in all Of it's precepts. Some one
has to lose. 1t may as we'll be you
perhaps. so far as the good of the
world goes, as your neighbor II
makes for unselfshness to keep that
in mind. -Omah a Bee.
