There's An Answer (by Norman Vincent Peale and Ruth Stafford Peale) 17 Years Old And Worried About A Career Q. I'm a 17-year-old male student and have been troubled about what I'm going to do fa* a career after high school. I'm in my junior year and have been troubled about it for a long time. What can I do to help me realize what I want to do and help me stop worrying about it? , A. Worrying about your future career will, of course, produce no future career. ° . Make an appointment with your school guidance counselor and ask for information and suggestions. Take a piece of paper and a pencil and write in order of preference everything you think you would like to do. Then start the process of narrowing them down to the one thing you would like to do. Turn the paper over and make a list of the things you can do the best, those for which you seem to Nhave the most aptitude. Put die number ones together and you have probably got your indicated career. We have a booklet, After The Tassel Is Moved, which has helped others with questions such as yours, and a copy of it is on its way to you. Anyone reading this column who wishes a free copy may write for one. Address your request to Dr. and Mrs. Peale, Box 500, Pawling, NY 12564. Cries In Church Q. I would like very much to attend church, but when I do I can't keep from crying. This embarrasses me very much. I try so hard to keep from crying it makes a nervous wreck out of me. If other people were crying I wouldn't feel so bad, but I am always the only one. There really isn't anything to cry about, and I try to tell myself that but it doesn't help any. I don't feel this is normal and I would like to know if this is a mental problem and if so how can I correct it? A. It would seem that your unconscious attitude toward the church is highly sentimental. Your assumption is that church- going should be altogether an emotional experience. It is, of course, true that worship combines humility, thoughtf ulness and emotional elements. But to be constructive, the emotions should be controlled so that spiritual dedication will lead to life improvement. To correct your overactive emotions, emphasize the though tf ulness inherent in worship. Concentrate on the words that are sung and spoken. Take notes on the sermon so that you can better retain and benefit by the ideas. By disciplining your mind the emotional factor will come under control. Take a positive attitude. Expect to be hi control. You will be. Brother Moved In With Her And Divorced His Wife Q. I recently moved from Washington, D.C., and bought a mobile home in California to be close to my brother and his family. Upon my arrival he immediately left his family, moved in with me against my wishes, divorced his wife whom I love dearly, and will be married to the woman who broke up the marriage. She's a fine person, but I'm finding it very difficult to forgive her. I practically decided it would be best to move back East so that I can regain the close relationship I've always had with my brother. Do you agree? A. Really, it doesn't need to make any difference whether you live in California or the East Coast as far as your relationship with your brother is concerned. Whatever he does, even though you properly disagree with it, you must continue to love and believe in your brother, especially as mixed up as he seems to be. Continue to have a loving relationship with his former wife and try to be on good terms with his present wife, even if she did break up the marriage. You are entitled, however, to live alone and not have your life regulated by your brother's problems. But if you can't maintain your independence it might be necessary, after all, to put some geographical distance between him and you.
