Perhajm those old timer« enjoyed life as much
as we do in Ashland now. They had little in the
way of amusement», but they had a philosophical
gift of finding pleasure in their daily experiences.
A job of work well done gave them as much pleasure
as we get <>ut a fine entertainment now. There
is such a thing as having so many pleasures 'that
one becomes too jaded to enjoy them.
The Adjustment to Work
A, noted educator remarks, that failures on the
part of college students “ are not due so much to
lack of ability, as to lack of personal qualities nn<l
characteriMtics that enable the student to adjust him­
self to the environment and work of the college.”
Here is suggested ope reason why many of us fail
to accomplish the things that would be entirely
possible for us.
We may be perfectly capable of doing the
particular.thing we are up against, but somehow wo
may not he able to fit into our job. We jrrobnbly
let our minds get fixed too much on side issues.
Perhaps we become annoyed by incidental oc­
currences, or by the |»ereonalUy of the people, witli
whom we are aseociatod. We fix our minds on
those situation»- and exaggerate them far beyond
their importance, and in the meantime lose sight
of the particular thing that is given us- to do. Thus
our task does not get the full benefit'of our mental
j»ower, and v e fall short of the thing exacted of
Brainy Failures
Persons who have Bred in a good many places
and have mat a lot of people, often become ac­
quainted with folks who seem to have a great deal
of ability, yet who have never been able to ac­
complish much of anything. If they are men they
could never earn a reasonably good living, and if
they are women they never did anything thorough­
ly well.
General intelligence and mental capacity are n
wonderful aid, hut taieeess in aqj. line ia achieved
principally by fixing one’s mind on nome pnrtietilur
thing and doing that thing particularly well. If
we can t coircentrate on that one task, and do it n
little bettor than it ha« lieen done lx?fore, our jfenera)
intelligence and broad culture will not earn us
far.
