II A LWAYS hold your head
"A high" was the advice
"A given by distin.
Suished actress
She was speaking to young
niece who wished to follow in
her footsteps.
Always hold your head high"
she said. When things look
darkest, hold your head highest"
The successful actress then
told Of early experiences before
her struggle was crowned with
success-of how she had re.
hearsed for one engagement with
barely enough money in her
purse to prevent starvation. But
she held her head high, gave an
impression Of prosperity and con.
fidence, and she won out.
The rule WORKS both ways.
Think courage and high hope,
confidence and fearlessness. and
you will instinctively hold your
head high. AUG holding your
head high will in turn add to
your attractiveness in every way.
Almost always hold your head
