A ianitor was once asked by his
manager to do something which re-
ouired him to work after hours. he
promptly lost his temper. stated
that he was not hired to do work Of
that kind. and told the boss to jump
in the lake. The next morning he
returned and said that he was sor-
rv and didn't want to be fired.
why asked the manager, do you
want to stay?' I have four rea-
sons he replied. "a wife and three
children. And if you let me keep
on. I'll try not to lose by temper
again" That settled it.
The man had been doing some
thinking. and it concerned those
who were dependent upon him.
Whenever man begins to do a bit
of unselfish thinking, he will gen
orally do the right thing, and he
will feel better for so doing.
