You Can Make It! If you can take it, you can make it! If you can take unjust criticism and insults without losing your temper, you can make it. When you are criticized, remember the words of J. M. Gibson: “Only God can form and paint a flower, but any foolish child can pull it to pieces.” Remember, if you have no detractors, you probably have no projects. If you can make sacrifice and self– denial without complaining, you can make it. “There is but one virtue,” wrote George Sand, “the eternal sacrifice of self.” If you can study when others are playing, if you can practise when others are wasting time, then you can and will make it. If you can take self– discipline without getting discouraged, you can make it. Ponder these words of William Penn: “No pain, no palm; no thorns, no throne; no gall, no glory; no cross, no crown.” If you can take reverses, adversity and disappointments without giving up, you can make it. Wise are they who have learned these truths: trouble is temporary; time is a tonic; tribulation is a test tube. If you can take the imperfections of others without being impatient, you can make it. If you want others to be patient with you, be patient with others. Remember, even the most pressing human relations problems can be ironed out by applying the Golden Rule of Patience. You can make it!
