Know, Adhere to Pace
That Is Best for You

which is best for you. II you
work best and accomplish more
at fairly slow pace, adhere
to this and don't worry about
the drifting sands Of time"
On the other hand, if you'd
rather hurry through your
duties and activities, don't
deviate from this course. All
those who accomplish much
without fatigue have learned
this secret.
Neither mental nor physical
exertion should result in
fatigue if you go at them with
the pace natural to you. Bore
dom. it seems to me, is the one
exception. If you are bored.
you will be tired no matter
what speed you use.
Most folks never think in
terms of personal pace. With
out realizing it they try to At
their natural speed to that of
others. They get pushed into
all sorts of activities which do
not interest them so that their
lives become damned and they
are forced to discard the tempo
which is natural to them.
We live with others and
daily life must be full of give
and take" so that we cannot
achieve this ideal completely.
Nevertheless. once we recognize
its Importance we can come
much nearer the ideal than
most of us usually do.

Each person is geared to his
own individual speed, and it
is a great mistake to try to
adopt the speed Of another.
We differ not only in our
physical endowments but in
our psychological approach to
life. 1t is extremely important
that every person discover the
pace which is best for him.
Otherwise fatigue and frustra-
ton are certain to result.
