I llWWOf^ HOW SHE WON HER BATTLE ; “"T WAS never troubled with an inferiority complex until T be- Acame hard of hearing,” writes* Lucile Crite*. of Spokane, Washington, as an entry in our contest on experiences in cur-’ tng an inferiority complex. . J “Soon after I was graduated from the university, I began having trouble with my ears. It became increasingly hard for me to follow normal conversation. Because of this and the answers I sometimes made when misunderstanding, I began to drop out of things. I knew I often appeared stupid and I- could not stand the laughs at my expense, good- natured though they often were. So, I changed from a young woman who had liked to go out and have a good time, to one who had a dread of meeting people. Dale Gemegie # # *‘I often cried myself to sleep. I was that; pitiable person, one who is sorry for herself. Worry was undermining my health. .air'.ii-. .»*ir ^ ^ “One day a kindly old doctor said to me: -• ' f “ ‘My dear, you must take a different attitude to- f ward your affliction. It is a cross, I admit; accept it as ^ such, and learn to bear it cheerfully. You still have k .|\ fairly good hearing in one ear, and it is not likely you \ t will lose that, unless you worry it away. Being cheerful ■j jrill help you greatly. After all, one in every eight per- : f sons is hard of hearing. Keep your chin up, be brave, 1 do the things you can do, stop worrying about what f you can’t do, and above all, stop feeling sorry for your- L self.*” wwbStow ssetoseto*- “That advice was jtjst what I needed. I decided I would | face my trouble and fight it out. I looked around me and dis covered that most of my friends and acquaintances had some-' thing to worry about. Who was I that I thought I could escape ■ everything unpleasant? ; “Before I became hard of hearing I was a public reader; I^ also wrote and directed plays for clubs, churches and Chambers, of Commerce. —i “Now, when I feel a spell of blues coming on, I say { to myself that nothing is worth worrying about! and I ' .sing, or whistle or make myself smile. When I awake J / •> each morning I remind myself that I can hear as well 1 as I did yesterday; I shall probably bear as well tomor- 1 row. Anyway, I shall live but one day at a time. Most of us can stand the burdens of one day alone, it is the t accumulated burdens of many days and years that frighten and weight us down. I’m putting faith j \ thoughts in place of fear thoughts. “I am glad to have learned to smile and be Happy eveoi though I must often say.
