Number Four in a Series --- "1 Will Prepare Myself..." By Mike Rothenberger Dale Carnegie & Assoc. Inc, New York. Copyright 1965, Dale Carnegie & Assoc., Inc. It was an interesting conver- sation to hear. A young lady of eighteen was talking with a learned man. He had asked her about her career, what line of training she wanted to pursue. She said, "Well you know, sir, I would like to become a psy- chologist, but it requires so much time in school that I am - afraid I would be too old." The wise man sat in silence for a few moments and then asked, "Young lady, how long would it take you to become a psy- chologist?" She said, 'Probab- ly seven years." "How old would you be then?" was the next question. "I would probab- ly be about 25." Then the man asked, "How old will you be in seven years if you don't become a psychologist?" Of course, her answer was, "Well, I guess I would-be about 25." A provocative thought. How many people have cheated themselves? How many have relinquished their desires and forfeited their dreams because the voices of procrastination and failure whispered negative thoughts into their ears? This is where many fall into the trap of growing old when they are, inreality, still young. They grow -prematurely old because, in their-early years, they start planning to grow old. If you were to drop your left arm to your side, let it hang limp and not move a muscle for 6 weeks it would, of course, wither and become useless. But, in con- trast, if you chin yourself twen- ty times before breakfast each morning, or lift the bar bells, your muscles will become strong and responsive. Our mind is like our muscles.

Township of Scugog allow it to get lazy and inactive, then it will lose its keenness, but if we exercise it regularly, it too will become strong and responsive. It was Frank Batt- ger who said, "The man who keeps learning stays young. The greatest thing in life is to keep the mind young." Henry Ford put it this way, "The man who stops learning is old, whether he be twenty or eighty." We have but to look around us, no matter where we may live, and we can spot evidence of this great truth. We can see people young in years, but , old in mind and spirit, simply be- cause they allowed themselves to fall into a mental rut. They stopped exercising their minds, they stopped learning. Look just a little further. Pick out that vibrant, happy older man or la- dy who has lived more years but is still young in spirit and comparatively young in body. Study that person. You will "probably find him, or her, to be one who is always looking for new experiences. One who is in- terested in things, and in peo- ple, and in life. You will prob- ably find him to be a person who is constantly wanting to learn. He has exercised his mind. This is why youth has blessed him all these years and will probably continue. What we do with our lives to- day, what we do to discover and develop our hidden talents and abilities now, when we don't have to. . .this will determine what and where we will be when the day comes when we can no longer help it. This is a part of the self-preparation that is so vital to those who want to make the most of life. » +o 8 ® +
