1.A man once said how useless it was to put advertisements in the newspapers. "Last week," said he, "my umbrella was stolen from a London Church. As it was a present, I spent twice its worth in advertising, but didn"t get it back."
  "How did you write your advertisement?" asked one of the listeners, a merchant.
  "Here it is," said the man, taking out of his pocket a slip cut from a newspaper. The other man took it and read, "Lost from the City Church last Sunday evening, a black silk umbrella. The gentleman who finds it will receive ten shillings on leaving it at No. 10 Broad Street."
  "Now," said the merchant, "I often advertise, and find that it pays me well. But the way in which an advertisement is expressed is of great importance. Let us try for your umbrella again, and if it fails, I"ll buy you a new one." The merchant then took a slip of paper out of his pocket and wrote: "If the man who was seen to take an umbrella from the City Church last Sunday evening doesn"t wish to get into trouble, he will return the umbrella to No. 10 Broad Street. He is well known." This appeared in the paper, and on the following morning, the man was astonished when he opened the front door. In the doorway lay at least twelve umbrellas of all sizes and colors that had been thrown in, and his own was among the number. Many of them had notes, fastened to them saying that they had been taken by mistake, and begging the loser not to say anything about the matter.

7.When I was about 12 I had an enemy, a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings. Week by week her list grew: I was skinny, I wasn"t a good student, I was boyish, I talked too loud, and so on. I put up with her as long as I could. At last, with great anger, I ran to my father in tears.
  He listened to my outburst quietly. Then he asked, "Are the things she says true or not?"
  True? I wanted to know how to strike back. What did truth have to do with it?
  "Mary, didn"t you ever wonder what you are really like? Well, you now have that girl"s opinion. Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said."
  I did as he directed and discovered to my surprise that about half the things were true. Some of them I couldn"t change (like being skinny), but a good number I could - and suddenly wanted to - change.
  For the first time in my life I got a fairly clear picture of myself.
  I brought the list back to Daddy. He refused to take it.
  "That"s just for you," he said. "You know better than anybody else the truth about yourself, once you hear it. But you"ve got to learn to listen, not to close your ears in anger or hurt. When something said about you is true you"ll know it. You"ll find that it will echo inside you."
