Whatever your work, do not wait to "feel Just like It." before you begin to do your best. If you wait f;r inspira tion you are doomed. Disregard your moods. Tay no attention to your feel ings. If It is time to work, set about it, not half-heartedly, but with the whole-souled energy which Is an ad mirable substitute for enthusiasm. To wait till you feel like It before you do your best, is to waste life and pow er. Avoid Unprofitable -Mood. Angry moods and "grf.K bos" and their twin sisters, "grudges." serve ab solutely no purpose. If some one hurts or wounds us generously forget It Time heals the deepest cuts and makes us braver aud wiser for the txperience. Let us love life and Its worth-while things and avoid all un profitable moods. Otherwise happi ness will flever come our way, and if we search for it, it will flee from us like a phantom, for after all it Is the etate of our mind. ImpoaaibllKlM.
