NEW YORK, Dec. 31.-Long years

mellowing effect on Billy Petrolle,
for compared with the Billy Petrolle
of old, the fighter who scored a
seven-round knockout victory over
Billy Townsend of Vancouver, B. c.,

Not that the new Petrolle isn't a

the old.

The Washington times., 1931-11-04

I've been studying humans
and their cussedness, including
myself and my own. for nearly
SO years. And I have come to
this conclusion:
WE GET WHAT WE WANT
OUT OF LIFE.
This statement will be imme-
diately and Indignantly denied
by every person who reads it..
You, for example, will cry:
THAT isn't so! I've wanted
thousands of things that I
didn't get. I've wanted to be
rich and powerful and popular.
I've wanted to travel, to go on
thrilling adventures, and meet
strange. interesting people. But
I've never had the chance.
Or, if I did have the chance,
I wasn't able to take it,"
What You Wanted
Yes, that's your story,
stranger. And you'll probably
stick to it. But it isn't true.
You DID get out Of life what
you wanted. There were, Of
course, certain goals beyond
your possible attainment--cer-
tain mental and physical handi-
caps you could not pass. But,
barring these, you could have
had anything you wanted out
of life AND YOU TOOK
WHAT YOU WANTED MOST.
For instance-you say you
wanted to go on adventures.
And you could have gone on
them IF THAT WAS WHAT
YOU HAD WANTED. MOST.
But there were other things
you wanted besides adventure.
You wanted safety, or perhaps

ease, or perhaps money. Or
perhaps you couldn't bear the
thought of leaving your home
and dear ones and your good
job.
But these wants conflicted
terribly with your adventure
wants. For adventures aren't
safe-they're dangerous. They
aren't easy. They mean much
hard work and discomfort. They
rarely make money. Instead,
they're apt to leave you penni-
less. And hardest Of all. they
force you to leave everyone you
love behind you and to go out
into lonely perils.
Yes, you wanted adventure.
The thought of great, white
ships ploughing the peacock
seas. of winding trails leading
like green tunnels through the
jungle brush. of dead, forgot
ten cities bleaching on the
desert sands. the thought of
all that waiting wonder drove
you nearly crazy with desire.
BUT WHEN IT CAME
RIGHT DOWN TO BRASS
TACKS YOU WANTED SOME
THING ELSE MORE. YOU.
WANTED ADVENTURE, BUT
YOU WANTED SAFETY AND
COMFORT AND MONEY AND
THE COZINESS OF HOME
FIRES MORE. AND YOU
TOOK WHAT YOU WANTED
MOST.
The Gospel Truth
That is the truth. It is very.
disagreeable truth. You will not
like to admit it. Yet you could
change the whole course Of
your life for the better if you
would admit it.
Fate does not cheat us Of
the things we want. We cheat
ourselves. We cheat ourselves
through our own cowardice and
laziness, our greediness and
conceit and silly sentimentality.
And because we are so ignorant
concerning ourselves, we do not
know that we, alone, are respon-
sible. IF WE DID KNOW, WE
MIGHT SAVE OURSELVES.
Think Of your own life. Have
you the courage and sense to
think of it honestly? Then
think back to your disappoint-
ments and losses-to the dreams
that never materialized. Why
didn't they materialize? For
years you've been blaming some
body else because they didn't.
For years you've gone around
consumed with resentme:- and
self pity. But whose fault was
it-really? Granted that other
people were malicious and peev-
ish and selfish. how about
YOU?
Suppose you'd been a little
braver?
A little less lazy? More will
ing to fight for your rights?
What then?
YOU GET WHAT YOU WANT
WHAT YOU CHOOSE. >.

YOURSELF THAT YOU DON'T!
