The TALES you probably never heard about

QUIT

[People’s Press July 4, 1905]

Saying that fate is against you.
Finding fault with the weather.
Anticipating evils in the future.
Pretending and be your real self.
Going around with a gloomy face,
Faultfinding, nagging and worrying.
Taking offense where none is intended.
Dwelling on fancied slights and wrongs
Talking big things and doing small  ones.
Scolding and flying into a passion over trifles.
Boasting of what you can do instead of doing it.
Thinking that life is a grind and not worth living.
Talking continually about yourself and your affairs.
Deprecating yourself and making light of your abilities.
Saying unkind things about acquaintances and friends.
Exaggerating and making mountains out if molehills.
Lamenting the past, holding on to disagreeable experiences.
Pitying yourself and bemoaning your lack of opportunities.
Comparing yourself with others to your own disadvantage.
Work once in a while and take time to renew your energies.
Waiting round for chances to turn up. Go and turn them up.
Writing letters when the blood is hot, which you may regret later.
Thinking that all the good chances ad opportunities are gone by.
Dreaming that you should be happier in some other place or circumstances.
Belittling those whom you envy because you feel that they are superior to yourself.
Longing for the good things that others have instead of going to work and earning for yourself.
Looking for opportunities hundreds or thousands of miles away instead of right where you are—May Success.
