| Many Have Inferiorities To Thank for Eminence
Real Person
By HARRY EMERSON FOSDICK Among the constructive elements that make self-acceptance basic in becoming a real person is the principle of compensation. Deficiency can be a positive stimulus. Demosthenes, desiring above all else to be an orator and help save his people, had to accept
himself as a stammerer,
He did not, however, conceal his humiliation
with bluster, nor decry eloquence as worthless trickery, nor retreat
into tantastic dreams of himself delivering orations that would ghake the world, nor resign hinself to stammering as an excuse for doing. nothing LY. He took a. posi. tive attitude toward his limitation, sporking against the noise of the waves, so runs the story, with ; pebbles in his Dr. Fosdick mouth, until, compensated.” Genius is commonly developed in men by some deficiency that stabs them wide . awake and becomes. a major incentive. Obstacles can be immensely arousing and kindling. To be sire, this direct type of compensation, which attacks a hated inferiority and achievis eminence in the very realm where deficiency threatens failure, is not always possible, Not everyone can, like Theodore Roosevelt, start with a frail physique and so overcompensate that he becomes a roughrider and a lion hunter.
~ Substitute Possible
Even so, however, a substitutionary compensation is almost always possible. The homely girl may - develop the more wit and charm because she is homely; the shy, embarrassed youth, with the temperament of a recluse, may be all the more useful in research. The idea that we are made “-great _by our superiorities and ruined by our inferiorities is + dangerous -half-truth. "Many are
"spoiled by their superiorities, but,
many others have their inferiories #0 thank for their eminence. Would Steinmetz with his grossly deformed body, have developed " his mind to such extraordinary uses had he been an Apollo? * Biography records too many youths who seemed at first the ~runts ‘of the litter but who’ became eminent surprises of their day for chance and accident to be the explanation. Involyed in successful handling
the psychologists put it, he “over--
of ‘inferiority is the ability to pass from the defensive to the offensive attitude toward our limi-
tations. Faced with a discourag-ing--eontrast-betyeen our actual:
.and desired seldes; we are natur---ally-threwn on the defensive. Life. seems to be against us; emotionally we hecome apologetic, resentful, fearful, or humiliated, and acquire all kinds of psychological evils. Alibis and evasions, hypersensitiveness, chronic blaming of others. apathy and dejection, nervous and moral collapse—these 20 back-to-a defensive emotional attitude.
Callender Case
Into such a problem self-accept-ance walks as an indispensable element in the solution. Multitudes live in pathetic unhappiness
and inefficiency, when the shift from the defensive to the offensive attitude, whether in handling a single day's task ora whole life's character and career, can. work miracles, 2 John Callender was an officer of the Massachusetts militia.and was guilty of cowardice, at the Battle of. Bunker Hill. One of Geurge Washington's first duties when he _ assumed command of the American forces was to order the courtmartial of Capt. Callender. He was cashiered from the army, with Washington describing his crime as “the most infamous in a soldier, the most injurious to an army, and the last to be forgiven.” No sooner had this tragedy befallen . him. than Callender reenlisted in the army as a private, and at the Battle of Long Island - exhibited such conspicuous courage that Washington publicly revoked the sentence and restored to him his captaincy. Behind such an experience lies a basic act of self-acceptance — open-eyed, realistic, without equivocation or excuse—along with a shift from a defensive to an offensive attitude, that makes John Callender an inspiring person to remember.
