T
HE problems of life are many and diverse, and no one can accomplish the solution of an
annoying condition by approaching it feeling that it is impossible to grapple success-
fully with it.
. ....
The presence of that word impossible in'a vocabulary means al once Unit the individual
has acknowledged defeat before the real beginning of the struggle.
The things that appear impossible are frequently colored by the particular and perhaps prej-
udicial view which we take of them.
.
.
Our appreciation of a picture depends largely on the perspective from which we look at it,
and if we view problems through the wrong perspective, the way to overcome them is clouded too
frequently in doubt and despair. And oftentimes our most valuable asset—time—is given up to
doubt and despair.
It is wrong to my mind to figure that the chances for winning anything worth the effort are
not good.
Every morning should bring new ambition—hope, and the illusions caused by a tired condition of
the night before should be gone.
Every sunrise should mean the beginning of a new life.
Never mind the time or thought wasted yesterday—it is to-day, and the time of to-morrow
that can be saved by a careful and systematic planning of the time of to-day.
Wasted time is a desert on which are scattered the wrecks of many vain hopes; but why waste
time in their contemplation? •
.
.
.
Every day the perspective is different and we should be getting a little nearer to the true picture
of life. We should see in it certain lights and shades that were not discernible through our view of
yesterday. Some of the illusions have faded, and we see different colors and differnet lights.
We should not, however, fool ourselves by a false perspective. We cannot all view the picture
from the same angle because there are many temperaments. One will see different colorings not
visible to another, but each in his own way can obtain some satisfaction from the picture which
is unfolded before every human vision.
Framed in the prodigality of nature we are apt to be spendthrifts of time and opportunity.
