Who, according to the author, are ”Fortune”s favoured children”?
朝花夕拾梗概a gifted American psychologist has said, ”Worry is a spasm of the emotion; the mind catches hold of something and will not let it go.” It is uless to argue with the mind in this condition. The stronger the will, the more futile the task. One can only gently insinuate something el into its convulsive grasp. And if this something el is rightly chon, if it really attended by the illumination of another field of interest, gradually, and often quite swiftly, the old undue grip relaxes and the process of recuperation and repair begins.结婚对联横批
形容能说会道The cultivation of a hobby and new forms of interest is therefore a policy of the first importance to a public man. But this is not a business that can be undertaken in a day or swiftly improvid by a mere command of the will. The growth of alternative
mental interests is a long process. The eds must by carefully chon; they must fall on good ground; they must be dulously tended, if the vivifying fruits are to be at hand when needed.
To be really happy and really safe, one ought to have at least two or three hobbies, and they must all be real. It is no u starting late in life to say: ”I will take an interest in this or that.”Such an attempt only aggravates the strain of mental effort. A man may acquire great knowledge of topics unconnected with his daily work, and yet get hardly any benefit or relief. It is no u doing what you like; you have got to like what you do. Broadly speaking, human beings may be divided into three class: tho who are toiled to death, tho who are worried to hard week”s sweat and effort, the chance of playing a game of football or baball or Saturday afternoon.

It may also be said that rational, industrious, uful human being are divided into two class: first, one. Of the the former are the majority. They have their compensations. The long hours in the office or the factory bring with them as their reward, not only the means of sustenance, but a keen appetite for pleasure even in its simplest and most modest forms. But Fortune”s of sustenance, but a keen appetite for pleasure even in its simplest and modest forms. But Fortune”s favoured children belong to the cond class. Their life is a natural harmony. For them the working hours are never long enough. Each day is a holiday, and ordinary holidays, when they come, are grudged as enforced as enforced interruptions in an absorbing vocation. Yet to both class, the need of an alternative outlook, of a change of atmosphere, of a diversion of effort, is esntial. Indeed, it may well be that tho work is their pleasure are tho who and most need the means of banishing it at intervals from their minds.
