Some Can’t Bear Others’ Success
Br BLANCHE SPANN PEASE
Have you ever tried keeping
the corners of your mouth turn
ed up all day as you go about
town meeting this person or that?
You will see an astoninshing lot
ct radiant smiles in a few hours,
if you’re first with a smile on
your face.
There is something about
cheerfulness that is catching. And
something about mannerliness
and courtesy that is communi
cated to others.
If you jump all over someone,
what happens? In self-defense
they proceed to jump onto you
in return. And they probably
never have much use for you
again.
Often one meets a person w'io
has nothing but good to say of
others and it usually turns out
that the person who does not
continually pick someone else to
pieces is a pretty likeable per
son in their own right.
There are people who nev\ r
can stand the success of others.
If someone else gets a new dress,
hair-do, or friend, or a new car,
buys a place or builds a house,
the “tear-downer” has nothing
but unkind things to say.
Let an accomplishment or an
honor come their way and they
have nothing good to say
either.
One of the best tests of be:ng
a well balanced and likeable
person is being able to be genu
inely happy for the possessions,
accomplishments and successes
which come to other people.
