Nothing Worth Being Angry Over
A WRITER says: A dear lady of my acquaintance confided to me an excellent piece of advice when I asked, “Now, tell me, how do you manage to keep so unruffled a temper?” “Ah,” she replied, “there are very few things in this world worth being angry about; so when I feel annoyance rising within me, I ask myself, quite judicially: ‘Is this worth being angry over?’ and in nine hundred and ninety cases out of a thousand my common sense answers, ‘O, no.’” If you want your husband to love you to his life's end, if you want him to turn to you as his best friend, if you want to keep him your devoted lover, if you want to make him a thoroughly happy man, be amiable, even if it is rather an effort and does not come to you by nature.—Selected.
