HOW TO BE MISERABLE

From an unknown source comes an article titled, "How To Be Miserable." It says,

* "Think about yourself. Talk about yourself. Use 'I' as often as possible.

* Mirror yourself continually in the opinion of others.

* Listen greedily to what people say about you.

* Expect to be appreciated. Be suspicious. Be jealous and envious. Be sensitive to slights.

* Never forgive a criticism. Trust nobody but yourself.

* Insist on consideration and respect.

* Demand agreement with your own views on everything.

* Sulk if people are not grateful to you for favours shown them.

* Never forget a service you have rendered. Shirk your duties if you can.

* Do as little as possible for others."
