When he loses a ball or has any

success aret very nearly ruined, by
The habit Of whining.
Self-pity is the suicide of heroism
The man who has a hard task to
face owes it to his own moral char
acter not only to face it and per-
form it, but to do it in a spirit of
courage. 1t is not simply the aeon

success, they know what to do with

Nothing unncrves a man more than
to belittle himself in his relations
