Y.—If you're the type that likes to take things easy, you'll get a lot more out of life than ^our ambitious friends. Too many of us are dogged by excessive ambition or a sense of failure, declares Dr. Matthew N. Chappell in the January Journ al of Living. We are constantly disquieted by the feeling that we must get more, do more or be more—that we are inadequate in some way. To still a this uneasiness of what he calls false ambition, Dr. Chappell advises giving more thought to the basic things ex pected of us—and stop worrying about the rest. Few of us are required to lead the nation or become powers in labor or industry. But we are ex pected to conduct our relations with other people in such a way as to yield them maximum hap piness and benefit. We have no duty to acquire great wealth, but merely to pro vide for ourselves and our fam ilies. It's not mandatory that we become great athletes. It is suff icient just to take normal cara of our bodies and health. Nor need we all set out to be reform ers, bemoaning all the* ills and injustices of life. But we should understand the development °' our own emotional attiudes and control them in such a way that we do not add to the ills of the world. To attain a mature personality says the Journal of Living art icles, we need to simplify our out look. Relief from false ambition will make us better and happier human beings. Welcome Home W. M. S.
