HOW TO GET OUT OF A RUT V
_ i
Benjamin Franklin knew a
thing or two. He is considered
by many to have had the best
mind of any American. Well,
here is something he said about
getting into a mental rut:
"There are two things easy to
get into, and hard to get out of.
One is debt. The other is a men
tal rut." Both are stagnating.
Both will rob life of interest.
Here are ten suggestions to
help you avoid a mental rut:
1. If you are a devout church
goer, why not mingle occasional
ly with the publicans and sin
ners? Jesus did. Make friends
of people whose interests are
wholly unrelated to yours. If you
do not go to church, form ac
quaintances among church peo
ple. Get a glimpse of life through
their eyes. They may be able to
help you, or, at least broaden you
--and you may be able to help
them.
2. Win over your most ardent
enemy. This will be an adven
tuy, and will train you in the
fine art of dealing with people.
This one suggestion alone might
be the means of revolutionizing
your entire life.
3. Read a non-fiction book
each month. The librarian at
your public library will gladly
recommend one.
4. Try thinking daily for five
minutes consecutively on one
subject. Glance at the subject of
a newspaper editorial, then think
the subject through for yourself.
After you have done this, read
the editorial and decide whether

the writer is correct from your
viewpoint.
5. Be kind to everybody in your
household for twenty-four hours.
This may startle the household,
but it will be in a good cause.
6. If you are a salesman, study
every book on salesmanship that
you can find in your public li
brary. Try new ideas.
7. Break down your pet fear. If
you are afraid to walk under a
ladder, keep your eyes out for
ladders and sail boldly under
them. If you fear starting a new
piece of work on Friday, launch
one on Friday and see if it
doesn't turn out just as success
fully as. a Thursday-started pro
ject.
8. Develop a hobby. This will
not only add to your interests in
life, but it is possible for a hobby
to change from an avocation to
a vocation. Many a man has es
tablished his life work through
his hobby.
9. At least one day a week,
make it a point to try to under
stand the point of view of every
one with whom you come in con
tact. You'll be amazed at what
this can do for you. It will not
only increase your mental ca
pacity, but will make friends for
you and enrich your life a hun
dred-fold.
10. If there is a public speak
ing class in your community, join
it. If you speak at every session,
it will do more than anything
else I can think of to get you out
of a rut.
