We Can II We Want to, and
Can Do More If We Have To

Many people think that life Is hard
They don't feel like working. What we
need Is to wake up--to work and to be
useful. Every depression is wrong
the more we feel the necessity to
work. the more we will be nble to ere
ate. The man who can say Il Will,
has power. We often say in quiet
DAYS 81 cannot do 1t, It's impossible =
But when there Is necessity for doing
a thing we find that we can 90 It, ana
do easily what we thought before i'm
possible So do not be depressed, It's
only the will-the good will. We can
II we want to, and we can do more If
we have to.
