DON’T LOOK FOR THORNS.

Think of this if you are ever tempted to discourage and sadden Others. And when you come to think of it, a few encouraging words cost nothing, and are just as easy to say as the discouraging words that come so readily to our lips. Make up your mind to look for the bright side of things always, and you krill be surprised to find what a difference it will make, not only to yourself, but to other people. v And, anyhow, nobody likes the person who persists in acting as a “wet blanket,” so if you have got into the habit, get out of it as quickly as possible, and start to cheer and encourage people instead.
