> _____________________________________________________________________
> Trouble Tree...
> Robert R Updegraff in  his little book "Be thankful for your troubles"
> tells about one man in a highly challenging job who seemed to always be in
> a good frame of mind when he got home regardless of how challenging the
> day had been.
> 
> When queried about how he did it,the man said,"I have a little copper
> beech tree in the yard by the front door and I call it my "Private trouble
> tree".Every night when I come home I mentally hang all the day's troubles
> on that tree and I say to myself."Hang there for the night,I'll pick you
> up when I start for work in the morning".
> 
> "The funny thing about it", he continued,"is that half the time when I
> leave the house the next morning I discover that most of what I thought
> were troubles when I hung them up had blown away during the night.Even the
> ones that are still hanging there aren't half as heavy or worrisome as
> they seemed when I came home the night before".
> 
> Scientifically speaking,it's been validated that the overwhelming majority
> of our problems are in our minds and never really happen to us in
> life.According to Mr.Updegraff, for many years the Boston globe carried on
> its editorial page this wise observation:"I am an old man and have had
> many troubles, but most of them never happened -Uncle Dudley."
> 
> Be thankful for the troubles of your job.They provide about half your
> income because if it were not for the things that go wrong, the difficult
> people you have to deal with,and the problems and unpleasantness of your
> working day,some one could be found to handle your job for half of what
> you are being paid.
> 
> It takes intelligence,resourcefulness,patience,tact and courage to meet
> the troubles of any day. That is why you hold your present job.If all of
> us would start to look for more troubles and learn to handle them
> cheerfully and with good judgement as opportunities rather than
> irritations, we would find ourselves getting ahead at a surprising rate.
> 
> It is a fact that there are big responsibilities waiting for men and women
> who aren't afraid of the troubles connected with them.
> 
> From the book "Over the Top"
