Xe ---- ATED ASNT ET 'Of Facts and Fantasy By Reta M. Berrill GLEANINGS Each must find his own way and, learn by his own mistakes. But if we were asked to compile a list of, our considered, most worthwhile bits-of-advice for begin- ners, what would it consist of? Would it deal with the management of home, discipline for chi)dren, ways to make money, how to acquire more leisure time or, how to ignore the queer quirks of a husband? We can only speak personally and our personal list would side-track all of these, and simply be -- some things we learned the hard way, and as a slow learner required a lifetime. But made us, hopefully, a better person. We'd say, be happy with your lot, happiness is there if you look in the right direction. Don't gripe, complain or foster jealousy -- and if you must release the steam - valve sometimes try to function within the confines of your own home. As an old Chinese plover suggests -- If you are patient in one moment o anger, you will escape a hundred days of sorrow. Refrain from over-exposure. Learn to express yourself quietly, and Brevity is also the Soul of Wit. Don't brag. Braggarts are lousy people. And always rémember it's just as important to know our limitations as our capabilities. No one is good at everything or knows everything (though this is sometimes debatable). But it's a mark of the educated man to be able to discuss meaningly what he does know and admit what he doesn't. Don't act beligerently in contradicting some- one, even when you're sure, and 'don't' do it unless it's _ Necessary to save a character or the subject. ~ When you purchase something of need or desire choose the thing to meet your need and your personal taste and not because it's better or more expensive than so - and - so's. You'll enjoy it longer. Don't be a bore. There's nothing more boring than that oft-told tale, even if embellishments are atlded frequently. The truth can hurt deeply but will generally heal much more quickly than the lie that was used in its place. And if there's a chapter in our book-of-life that we'd rather not have exploited; to day, I'd prefer not discussing it, should suffice. Again, no lies. If someone presents a gift, does a kindness or sends a greeting of remembrance, he did it because he wanted to. He cared. So, let him have the fun. Don't tie a string on it by dashing off to buy something to reciprocate. But do remember to let him know you were pleased. ' Don't take too much for granted. The world doesn't owe you a living. And its been tried and proven that work does reward greatly; beyond the dollars and cents. Keep the individuality you were born with. Don't be a follower unless that happens to be your natural bent. Don't profess to be a Rock Fan if you actually prefer Bach. Or be a joiner of every fad and phase unless there too, lies your greatest fulfillment. Avoid phoeism, blarney and all pretense. It's as see-thru' as a sheet of kitchen food-wrap. To live and cease to learn is to grow old without growing-up. Strive for knowledge, continue to wonder and learn to suspend judgement -- ever trying to be more and more tolerant. Tolerance is one of our world's biggest needs. Then, and probably of paramount importance; know that the most powerful, most meaningful, yet, smallest words in our language are capable of moving a mountain of unhappiness or misunderstanding, and of bridging the seemingly unbridgeable gaps in human relations. And are merely such words as, I'm sorry, forgive me, and thank you.' PORT PERRY STAR Wednesday, June 26th, 1974 -- 21 | assistance to help you choose the right lighting fixtures foryour home.
