gloomy, discouraged thought? You can not cure a "fit of the blues" with more "blues," more discouragement.

Give yourself a good heart-to-heart talk, just as you would if trying to help your dearest friend who was suffering from deep depression and great discouragement. Appeal to your own better nature. Try to shame yourself out of your foolishness. Show yourself how silly it is for a man to yield to such weaknesses. Say to yourself, "What would ever have become of Napoleon or Grant if they had been the slaves of their moods? What would Lincoln have done in a similar situation? Would he have played the baby and given up and gone about with a long face and dejected countenance, as though he had lost his last friend, his last dollar? If I am such a 'weak sister,' such a nonentity, the sooner I find it out the better."

When you look at it squarely, it is a very foolish, almost criminal, thing to go about this beautiful world, crowded with things to delight and cheer us, with splendid opportunities, showing a sad, dejected face, as though life had been a disappointment instead of a priceless boon. Just say to yourself, "I am a man and I am going to do the work of a man.
