Anxiety mars one's work. Nobody can do his best when, fevered by worry. One may rush, and always be in great haste, and may talk about being busy, fuming and sweating as if he were doing ten men's duties; and yet some quiet person alongside, who is moving leisurely and without anxious haste, is probably accomplishing twice as much, and doing it better. Fluster unfits one for good work.

"Young men," it is said, "are apt to be overbearing, imperious, brusque in their manner; they need that suavity
of manner, and urbanity of demeanor, gracefulness of expression and delicacy of manner, which can only be
gained by association with the female character, which possesses the delicate instinct, ready judgment, acute
perceptions, wonderful intuition. The blending of the male and female characteristics produces the grandest
character in each."
