To be without error is like asking for the lion’s share of Utopia, yet there are those who expect miracles of perfection everytime a job is assigned to certain individuals. Why is it? |
Why is it that some of these ideas that loom up in one’s imagination like a “million
dollars,” when originally conceived, turn out to be so much bubble gum when
put to the test? |
Ironical at it may seem still these things do happen. Some men perform many noteworthy
services but receive no credit for any one o f them, yet a little, insignificant act may be responsible for their receiving a world of recognition. Conversely, a man may violate every rule in the book and get away with it, and yet a minor infraction will result in a peck of trouble for him. Why is it? |
It appears that not all neurotic cases are confined to neuropsychiatric wards. Some
men feel that whatever they do they must eventually pay a price for it. According
to their limited way of thinking everything must be placed on a scale o f
balances and counterbalances. Every job experienced must be offset by an opposing
force. These guys are so obsessed with this peculiar notion that they refrain
from smiling in the morning for fear that in doing So they might cry at night. Why is it? |
Why is it that some fellows imagine that every letter they write is a literary masterpiece
and everything they do is a major undertaking ? |
Why is it that in radio, some commentators make it a point to pronounce the name
o f a foreign city in the same way as it is spoken in its native tongue and expect
you to find it on a map? Unless you are familiar with the language you may
as well try to solve the Einstein theory with a tape measure. |
Some guys have an affinity for the pronoun “I.” Why is it that every sentence they
utter must start with “I”? |
Why is it that some of these self- appointed wizards imagine that if they cannot
carry a thing through no one else can? |
Like Alexander the Great who cried because he had no more lands to conquer, we have‘
in our midst the dreamer who worries about every thing under the sun and peculiarly enough when he has nothing in particular to be concerned about will worry because he has nothing to worry about. Why is it? |
Some guys have such fixed habits that no matter how persuasive one’s argument may
be to the contrary there is no changing of their courses. Either they are
most punctual or they are A L W A Y S late in keeping appointments. There is
no compromise for never the twain shall meet. Why is it? |
