Show PaieCarmbcde pIIARLES WILLIAM JACKSON, Anaheim, California, says he once worked fur a Road Improvement company owned by two brothers in u small central Illinois town. It was a prospering company and the two brothers were quite wealthy. The youngest brother's name was Hal and (he older was George. Hal was a nervous type. Always on the go, never seemed to relax. Everything was business with Hal, and it all had to be just so or he would be running around like a chicken with his head cut off. George, the older one, was different. He never got excited, was never in a hurry. He would walk around in un old pair of overalls with a chew of tobacco In his mouth, not seeming to care whether or not the sun set. About twice a year Hal would get in such a frenzy he would take a two week trip to the Mayo Brothers umic in Minnesota for a rest. It puzzled Charles Jackson why Hal would have to go for a rest while CARNEGIE George always seemed to be the same year after year. One day, as Hal was preparing to leave for the Clinic, Charles said to George, "leorge why is it that Hal takes these trips to the Clinical! Clinic-al! the time? I never see you going up there." Said George, "I'll tell you. Hal has always been a worrier. Kven at night he takes his troubles right to bed with him and fights with them all night long. But I try a different way. At night before I go to bed I walk through the kitchen and leave my troubles right on the kitchen table, then in the morning when I get up I come out and pick them up again with a fresh and clear mind." And that is why a man five years older than his brother looks and acts five years younger. |
