Thoughts to Build On

Chapter 79

Let It Rain

There is a great wisdom in a simple, little
statement by Longfellow in Tales of A Wayside Inn:
"For after all, the best thing one can do when
it is raining, is to let it min."
And so we should-because we must.
Perhaps that is the greatest lesson of this book.
Although its 80 chapters were written to give
readers a wide variety of stimulating and rewarding
I THOUGHTS TO BUILD ON, and each chapter was
planned to be entirely different from and unrelated to
all other chapters, yet as we near its end and review its
thoughts, there seems to be one predominantly recurring
lesson which applies to many of the life situations with
which this book deals.
It is the philosophy of ACCEPTING what
cannot be changed.
