Some People Are Too Easily
Discouraged
It is a notable fact that both good and bad
fortune are valuable in showing us ourselves.
A man that never makes any mistakes-loses
much that it would do him good.to know.
Often too much success is the ruin of a
business . man, who becomes arrogant and
neglectful, and oversteps the mark, because he
gambles with his pride and loses all.
Sailing on a narrow, glossy, brown water,
like the winding Indian River in Florida,
presents new views and unexpected beauties.
i To grow as we go, to be learning something
we do not know, and not compelled, to stop on a
sandbar nor brought up short for unhurried
thinking, is a gain and not a loss.
This Store's best profits are in learning its
mistakes and not sitting down to cry over
them; and doing better next time. '
