AS YOU THINK SO YOU ARE

Much Wisdom In Little One’s Idea of the Way In Which Success May Be Won. Aunt Marie was discouraged. She had just applied for a situation .and her application had not been successful. “I just told myself before I went up that I wouldn’t get it,” she told her family. “I always have the worst luck.” __ —— Her ten-year-old niece looked up from her game. “You shouldn’t have said that, Aunt Marie,” she said earnestly. “I believe that’s the reason you didn’t get it.
