Ii is great mistake for those

,perts who have studied the SUBJ
lject, in the schools of both theo-
ny and practice, are agreed upon,
ylt is that the time TO begin the

A Cure for Faultiinding
The Youths Companion


: 1t is so easy to find fault. so
Easy 10 stand by and criticize
what others do, 10 imagine what
might have been accomplished
and 10 SET ii up as a fatal standard
for what has been accomplished!
To slip into the habit of thinking
such things is dangerously easy,
and when we think them it is
difficult to refrain from saying
them. Perhaps the best cure is
to say little or nothing; but for
the most part humanity is not
contrived that way.
A help to preserving 4 better
attitude in the matterDis to con-
slider not so much what people
have actually done as what they
tried to do. Once understand
what they were aiming at and
you will understand something
of their difficulties. and perhaps
in the end you will be astonish-
ed, not that they have accom-
plished SO little, but that they
have accomplished SO much.
Also that understanding will
be vastly facilitated if you go
farther and consider whether in
their place you would have done
exactly the same, or even less
we'll. You are human as they
are, your means and capacity are
limited as theirs a,e, perhaps
even more limited. Wien you
estimate the complication of cir
cumstances and put yourself,
your own blundering, miStaking,
regrettlng. ever-recOmmencing
SELF, right into them, your tol
erance for the failures Of others
will be immensely increased
For this is the best cure of all:
instead of dwelling upon the
faults of others, 10 give a little at
tention, or even a good deal of
attention, TO your own. 1t is
really quite as easy to find flaws
in your own large field of life as
in others, in fact much easier,
since you are even more familiar
with your own mistakes than
with theirs. Tne trouble is that
it is MUCH less agreeable, This
little unkindness, that little social
awkwardness. the sharp. harsh
word you uttered yesterday when
