How To Behave and Why - Chapter STRONG

YOU HAVE TO BE STRONG

Some
People think that being strong
is just a matter of having muscle like a gorilla.
But they are wrong.


That alone never made anybody happy.
Real strength comes from having a clean,
healthy mind and a clean, healthy body.

Think

it out for yourself.
All the power of sixty gorillas won’t do you any good
if you use it stupidly,
and if you don’t stay healthy
you might as well be a run down.

Any brave man or woman
can tell you that having a clean healthy mind comes
from taking the time to think what is right
and then doing it no matter how scared you are or
when it would be easier to do wrong or even
if somebody else tries to talk you into it.

Regular
habits are the answer to the question :
How can we grow from a weak baby to a strong
and healthy man or woman ?
Eating the right food when we should.

Keeping clean
Playing and exercising
Sitting and standing right and
Getting the right amount of sleep and rest are
HOW TO GET GROW WELL AND STRONG


Of
Course you can argue


With people who know better than you, but it’s stupid.
Doctors and scientists study and learn what is the best way to keep ourselves healthy.

Our fathers and mothers learn from them and tell us.

They know a lot more than we do,
and if we are bright, we do what they tell us to.

Now
Is the best time
to start doing what you are told to do
for you own good health.

You can ask your parents to tell you
WHY
They want you to obey,
BUT

Don’t Nag
and
Whine
and
Grumble
and
Cry

every time you just don’t want to do what is right.

Grown ups
aren’t some kinds
of weird monsters


that have fun
making us do things
we don’t want to do.
They just know a
Whole lot more than we do
Because they have been here longer.


Listen
to what they tell you
and you will be surprised how right
they usually are.
We all are different in many ways,

But
we are all alike in many ways too.
If we are
HONEST
and
FAIR
and
STRONG
We won’t find it hard to be wise.
