:25:01
Why, it may be
a good many times.
:25:04
For example; I have in my pocket here
a letter from a man in London; England.
:25:08
''Dear Dr. Peale;
Over three years ago...
:25:12
''I was in your great Marble
Collegiate Church for the first time...
:25:15
''and I was having it rough.
:25:18
- [ Snickers ]
- ''The job I'd been doing
had come to an end; and I was 55.
:25:22
- [ Laughing ]
-[ Mrs. Beale ] Your age; old gal.
:25:25
''Your suggestion lived with me;
plus the advice to try; really try;:
:25:28
- He lived. I never lived.
- ''think; really think;:
believe; really believe.
:25:31
''I did think. I did work
very hard to find a job.
:25:37
Eighty-eight interviews.''
:25:41
So did he
or did he not get the job ?
:25:44
He did.
:25:46
Will he or will not
handle himself...
:25:49
in the years that are to come ?
:25:52
He wasn't emotional.
:25:55
He didn't get upset.
:25:58
- He wasn't nervous.
- He wasn't me.
:26:01
He was cool.
Now one thing is sure.:
:26:06
The human mind will not function
when it is hot.
:26:14
- Only when it is cool
and dispassionate...
- Dispassionate.
:26:20
- That was the word
I wanted to other day.
- will it produce.
:26:22
I couldn't think
of what it was.
:26:25
I think it would be a good idea
if every day every individual...
:26:28
would look at himself
in the mirror;
:26:31
earnestly;
and ask the question;
:26:35
''Who am I ?
Am I a weak person ?
:26:39
Am I a defeated person ?
Am I an inferior person ?''
:26:43
Not at all.
:26:46
I am a child of God;
:26:50
and I was intended
to get on top of things...
:26:55
and I was intended to stay there.
