Make up your mind to be one of the world's HONEST citizens.
To improve the world begin by improving yourself.
THE STEEPLE, MOVING LIKE THE HAND OF A CLOCK
If you live in the suburbs you devote perhaps two hours each day
to travel. Two hours per day means practically one-fifth of your
active life.
How many readers make any use of those two hours, and feel each
day that they have been well spent? ----
Instead of being wasted, those hours should be among your best.
Never mind if you are clinging to a strap because companies are
licensed to exploit you. Never mind if you are tired and weary
when the day is ended. The tired brain often thinks better than
the fresh one. And man, so recently descended from the monkey
who had to think while hanging head down, ought to have no
trouble thinking as he hangs from his strap--head up. ----
Some in the cars play cards as they travel homeward. Others talk
gossip, and tens of thousands waste too much time on this and
other newspapers.
Try this experiment: Make up your mind to devote your hours of
travel to thinking. The brain, like the muscles, needs definite
and well-planned exercise. It must be methodical and regular.
There is no limit to its possible results. You would be glad to
spend your two travelling hours in a gymnasium on wheels.
