.We all have our troubles" said Mr.
GoslInxton. "A very capable young
friend Of mine who has some
what responsible position was bothered
BIZ the ways and actions of his SUD-
ordinafes and co-workers and SUI
periors. SO he went to friend OF MS,
an older and higher-up man, for ad-
vice and comfort
the older man smiled over this re
quest. The younger man had always
Imagined that the older man In MS
higher-up place was free from all wor
ries: that he could do as he liked ana
boss things to suit himself, but now
he heard the older man saying smli-
ingly:
"'Good gracious! You think you are
| the only man that has troubles. lou
think I have no trouble to bother me.
WHY, IL you should take your troubles
and multiply them by about ten you
would begin to understand ABOUT
where stand in the trouble way. we
all have our troubles
(which was af course the simple
truth. The man doesn't live who is
absolutely his own boss. Low or high,
there is somebody above him or beiow
him or around him to whom he must
defer. My young friend had an idea
that when he got higher up he would
be free, unhampered; that he couid
do as he liked. But the minute he
came TO talk with that older frlenu
he realized. and never after forgot
that no man in the world is free 10
do as he likes. This older and high
er-up friend had superiors still over
him and mem Of the same rank ana
subordinates to wrestle with; he had,
as the saying Is, troubles of his own.
but his talk with the older man
was a great relief and comfort TO my
, Young friend just the same. In fact,
II seemed somehow to broaden MIN
right away. He smiled as he thought
, TO himself now that he was not the
only man In the world with troubles
there were others. And his own bur-
dens seemed lighter as he thought OF
the loads that other people were car
rying. And it helped him a whole lot
