User-Contributed Transcription which people meet and pass each other he must be accommodating enough to pass out of a direct line or he will come in collision with someone or something and then he would have to stop but by yielding a little this would not happen. It will also make his journey much pleasanter if he lets his mind rest upon the beauty of his journey and when in difficult places he looks forward to what is coming thinking it will be more pleasant. When his journey is accomplished and he looks back over his dangers and pleasures he attributes his good success to being well prepared for what might happen and to his accommodating spirit. It is the same in marching through life. Those who prepare themselves for all the dangers to which they may be exposed get along easily while those who are subject to injury in every storm that may rise find that they are passing unhappily along. Those who are accommodating have no trouble for they find that other people use them as they use others and that there is more happiness in being contented than in any other way. It only requires patience and humility to march through life without being rendered unhappy by the hardships and vexations which every one has to endure in a greater or less degree. J.C. Stedman
