Fear OF Failure
To Many In
Life S Work

BY L. 3. Brady
Have you ever wondered Just what
Bill Jones actually likes, and what he
really and truly dislikese Not what he
tells you he likes. or doesn't like, but
what Bill himself. in his own private
mind, really does think and feel
about it?
Well, in order TO find out what peo.
pie like-and don't Like psychologist
recently devised great number of
questions, and asked great many of
al kinds of people to put down the
answers. and in order to be sure they
would put down exactly what they
thought, they were told TO put abso-
1nteiy no mark on their paper by which
amy one could tell who had written it.
In this way some very interesting things
were discovered. For. of course. in real
life, all of us are prone to give the
answer that will serve our PURPOSE
best-we don't want to twist the truth,
but neither do we wish to seem to be
Illogical, or prejudiced. or Jealous. or
out of tune with the prevailing beliefs
of our fellows.
How many times. for instance. have
you said to yourself II wish I had
that mans confidence in himself" Yet,
do you know that half Of the men aues-
/ toned put down that they were often
troubled, with making a failure out of
life? And almost half of the women :?
And this does. not imply at all that all
the rest were not SO troubled-for about
nne-fifth of the men and one-fourth of
the women did not answer that ques-
ton.
They were undoubtedly afraid to adj
NIT it even to themselves. And the
- n. l. Al
no hesitation in stating that many of
those who replied that they were NOT
often troubled with fear of failure.
would have replied that sometimes they
were troubled with that awful fear.
So, if you are discouraged, cheer up,
ypu are not different from your neigh
bors. Success, furthermore, is not a
matter of dollars or fame-it consists
In developing your talents and abilities
however mesgre they may be, to their
fullest extent in a practical, socially
elective way.
Another question asked WIS this :
Have you a tendency to make sug-
Esstions when you are being given
directions You say, Eyes, 1 have
with a sort of feeling of superiority,
imagining yourself to be different from
the easily led common people. But the
figures show that two-thirds of the
mEn, and more than half of the women,
have just this same popularity. You
are evidently not SO different after all.
How about lying? This was the
question do you believe that situa-
tion could ever arise where lie would
be justifiable!" Almost every one said
that such a situation could arise; two
men and two women refused to answer.
One of these men was studying for the
Mainistry. All of US want to believe
that we have good reason" for every
thing that we do, and so we justify
even lying. Some people, as was re-
marked above, lie to themselves Ever
hear any one say, I'm getting better
and better every day in every way"
when you knew that what that person
ought to do was to quit talking and go
10 see a doctor? But, of course, it's
easier to say something than it is to do
something.

"Lilion To Be
Given Thursday
Eve n1ng

To some of us, time passes slowly, to
others it seems to fly, but be that as 1t
may the date of the next performance
of the Little Theatre is almost here and
how glad we all are, for ever since 1t
was announced that "Liliom" was to be
the play we have talked, discussed,
speculated and wonderd.
"Liliom,' why. we thought that was
a play only to be given by professionals.
but it seems that we have, right in our
midst, talent and more talent and IL
will take good talent to produce this
drama.
We have all counted the days until
the opening performance Thursday
evening, April 10, so as to see for our
selves how our friends win "act."
Then, all of us have not had the op-
portunity to see the play as it does dig
into the family funds to 60 to New
York. but most of us have read il or
studied it in the clubs and it is rumored
that one club was up in arms over the
flower of our girlhood and boyhood
having to perform in sue, a play just
for the sake of art. AS far as We
| know, there is no reason for this stand.
Monar's play is not risque. but a drama
that will cause one to think. There are
better things that the club could dis
cuss that would be more appropriate.
Letitia McNeel is to be Julie and has
surprised us all. We all knew she was
Intellectual and attractive, but reserved.
She loses herself in the character she
is to play and acts with a native talent.
Mr.. Bernard Sold, to whom the sue
cess of the Little Theatre Is due, is the
director and will appear for the first
time in Birmingham. He is cast in the
role of Liliom, and we all want to see
him doing what he teaches others to do.
The rest of the cast includes: Mrs.
Sybil Caldwell, Madam Muskat; Mrs.
Dave Solomman, Marie; Miss Mary
Nice, Louise; Miss Mary Foster, Mrs.
Hollunder; Mr.. Percy Rosenburger, The
Sparrow; Mr.. Lane Garter, Wolf Bel
field; Mr.. William Warren, Linzman !;
Mr.. Ferdinand Dunkley, The Doctor |;
Mr.. Willard Mccall, Magistrate; Mr..
Dave Soloman, Poorly Dressed Man !;
Mr.. NJ. e. Lanier, Richly Dressed
Man; Mr.. Dave Soloman, Plain Clothes
Policeman; Mr.. Westrnoreland, Carpen-
ter; Mr.. Benton Harrison, Young Hol-
lunder; Mr.. Westmoreland, Heavenly
Policeman; MFR. Dave Soloman, Heaven
ly Policeman.
