A RANDOM
rilOUG IIT...
By J. Troy Hickman
IT HAS IJKKN 8A1I>
"Go placidly amid the noise and
haste, and remember what peace
there may be in silence."
In a world growing more noisy
and more hasty by the hour, lo
have a little world of one's own
to take refuge in now and then,
while enjoying the pence thai can
be in the silence, seems like a
necessity.
"As far as possible with" t .sur-
render be on good terms with all
persons." It's much more pleasant
to be on good terms, with every-
one, provided one can do il with
out being pushed .united by a few.
Against an aggressive pcriion, a
peaceful one has to wage a con-
tinued alert and defense.
"Speak yo i truth quietly and
clearly." Truth is more convincing
and agreeable when it isn't too
loud, loo tedious, or ft > wordy.
"Listen to others, even the dull
and ignorant, they t«w have their
story." This takes some real do-
ing; but it is a laet that every
person knows something you and
1 don't know.
"Avoid loud and aggressive per-
sons, they are vexatious to the
spirit." Amen. But how?
"If you compare yourself with
others, you may become vain and
bitter; for always there will be
greater and lesser persons than
yourself." Why should anyone care
enough lo compare? Was it not
I'opeye who said, "I yam what I
yam' ?
"Enjoy your achievements as
will as your plans." Why is it that
the anticipation of something is
often so ni <:h better — or worse —
than the experience of it?
"Keep interested in your career,
however humble; il is a real |x>s-
session in the changing fortunes
of time."
"Exercise caution in your busi-
ness affairs; for the world is full
of trickery." You can say that
again! 1 knew a fellow who says,
Always expect the worst ol
people for three reasons, first,
you will be right more than half
of the lime. Second, you will be
ready. Third, when someone turns
out belter than you expected, you
will enjoy the surprise so much."
"But |et ibis not blind you to
what virtue there is; many persons
strive for high ideals, and every-
where life is lull of heroism." Had
und good are all mixed up in each
at us. We should not be blind lo
either. To be blind to evil is lo be
vulnerable. To be blind to ;iood is
to be impoverished. Life is, indeed,
"full of heroism." .Much of il is
unknown. Most of il is unsung. All
of il is sublime.
Who said these things repealed
aliow in quotation marks? I'll ti ll
you nexl week when the series
is concluded.
