Q

Elbert Hubbard gave this sage advice:

A

Whenever you go out, draw the chin in, carry the crown of the head high, and fill the lungs all the way. Greet your friends with a smile. Put your soul into every handshake. Don’t fear being misunderstood don’t waste a minute thinking of your enemies. Fix your mind on what you would like to do; and then without veering off direction, you will move straight towards that goal. Keep your mind on the great and splendid things you would like to do, then you will unconsciously seize upon the opportunities. Picture in your mind the able, earnest, useful person you desire to be, and as you do this it will transform you overtime into that individual. Preserve the right mental attitude- courage, frankness, and good cheer. We become like that on which our hearts are fixed.
