The Habit of Self Confidence
BY Or. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1915. by Frank Crans)

Like almost everything else, self-con-
fdence is a habit
1t is formed by persistently choosing
to let the mind dwell upon our successes,
and in turning our thoughts just as per-
slstently away from our failures.
Suppose out of the ten things you did
today eight were failures. When you
come to the end of the days doings to
take stock give these eight one good
look, don't dodge them. see what caused
them and how you may do better to-
morrow - and then dismiss them from
your mind.
Think of the two things wherein you
have succeeded, even if they be of small
import. Speak of them. Don't mention
the others.
Keep bringing your success episodes
up into the light and air, where they can
grow and reproduce their kind. And
keep the failure incidents as much as
possible in the cellar of your memory. in
the dark, where they will "dwindle. peak.
and pine" Sterilze your failures. AS
phyXiate them.
Or course, this is easier said than
done What hurts is more easily and
sharply remembered than what pleases
A slap in the face is harder to forget
than pat on the back.
Bad things, unpleasant things, ugly
things, and nasty things have a way of
sticking to us; and good. pleasant. beau
tiful and wholesome things. such Is our
conceit, we are prone to take as matters
Of course and pay little attention to
them.
But here precisely is where the will
comes in. Here is the opportunity for
self-training Here the secret of i'm
provableness.
For moral slumping is always easy
and moral bracing hard. Smooth is
the road to hell. runs the proverb. A
person with a habby will is growing
worse every day, just as a man that will
not pull at the oars is steadily floating
down stream
And a man is never more a man than
when he summons up his will TO combat
tendency
As matter Of fact, almost every day
for every one Of Us contains more agree
able than disagreeable things. even to
the grouchie5t of souls. Just take a pen-
Gil and paper and set down in ond col
umn all the events of the day, big and
little, that have Rratitiai you. and in an
other all that have annoyed you; and il
you are honest TN wan az uo,s. , ~ - Ga
find the first column has ten items to
the others one
The trouble is that the one offensive
occurrence magnifes itself. The one
point on your body where you have a
boil attracts more Of your attention than
the entire remaining surface.
And when a child has a sore he wants
TO pick it, And we love 20 handle over
and over the memory Of the thing that
panied US
Well. quit!
Turn aroundl
Back up!
Except yd be converted (which is a
Latinsh word that means turned
around) ye cannot see the Kingdom.
Let the inhamed spots in your recol-
lection alone When the rebuff. or mis-
take, -or loss, or insult, or slight, or
other ugly thing soever pops up in your
thinking, look away, direct your
thoughts elsewhere
II is hard TO do But all improve
ment is hard
The only way TO climb any Height of
culture is TO keep on doing a difficult
thing until il becomes easy.
And the very heprt and core secret OF
culture is TO have the disposition TO
tackle the difficult things.
