HY knuckle to trouble?
Walk straight up to trouble—look it in the eye and dare it to down you, knowing
you are trouble's master.
Surely you are if you make up your mind to be.
Have a cheery creed and a blithesome look, and be trouble proof.
The people who believe that this world is a splendid place—that the majority of mankind is
on the upgrade, and that the present minute affords us as good chances as ever were found, and
that success is sure to follow the fellow who keeps at it—have a fountain of splendid inspiration
right in their own homes.
If they are having a big war in Europe, there is no reason why we should go around with our
minds filled with gloomy predictions as to the future of the entire world. We had no part in the
making of the war, and we have plenty to do right here to attend to our own affairs and take
advantage of the prospects and conditions with which we are blessed.
Look at trouble manfully—squarely—and stand calm in the circle of the day's tasks and obli-
gations, unworried, confident, busy, clean, and sing a song of thankfulness that some of the good
things by special inheritance are yours.
If that feeling be cultivated we can sip a different and sweeter brew than that which is passed
out by the heavy, depressed pessimist.
It is not necessary to indulge in fanciful dreams, but just to meet every-day conditions as they
develop—meet them in a straightforward manner.
We are not in any particular Garden of Eden. We have troubles and worries of our own, for
this is a workaday world.
Success is not to be picked up on the street or given away like piano certificates in a guess-
ing contest, but it can be obtained always if the right spirit is in the seeking.
This world is a good enough place for all of us to formulate a cheery optimistic creed. There
are things which are quite worth while.
It is true different temperaments require different treatments, and different methods of appeal
must be made to different men. But, if we were all alike it certainly would not be a successful
world. There must be change—a variation—a variety to give lights and shades to different colors.
But the creed of optimism should be encouraged by everyone;
more particularly in these troublous times through which we are
passing.
It is a big enough creed to include mankind, and it is the kind that
will accelerate business. The big things are ahead; go to them.
