Thinking and Doing.
"It is perfectly easy to write '1922' if you only think what you are doing," remarks the Boston Globe.
That is one of the great ifs that continually interpose hazards and obstacles in the path of the weary mundane pilgrim. Possibly it is the most important one of all. The majority of our errors and sins of omission, especially those of a minor character, are due to our failure to think what we are doing. But the mere recognition of this failure and the earnest desire to correct it will not prove sufficient in most cases as an effectual remedy. The great trouble is that it is practically impossible to think what one is doing in very many particulars.
