NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS
Will the new year be a happier ex-
perience for you than the preceding
twelve months?
The answer will undoubtedly not de-
pend on your success in keeping such
good resolutions as “Must lose weight”
or “Join more sociál activities.” Hu-
man relations experts — psyehologists
and clergymen — háve pinpointed six
major ideas in which many people’s
attitudes need changing.
Make your goals more realistic.
Success and failure are not objective,
say psyehologists; they are higlily sub-
jective, highiy personál States of mind.
In a long study of housewives and bus-
inessmen, Dr. Paulině Sears of the
University of Califomia found that the
ones who felt unsuccessful were those
who had set their goals either too high
or too low.
According to Dr. David Atkinson of
Yale University, being suceessful in-
volves three needs: 1) the need for ide-
alism, to keep our aims high enough
for self-respect; 2) the need for reál-
ism, to make our goals conform with
life as it is; 3) the need to, tolerate
' řrustration, avoiding a feeling of fail-
* ure by recognizing that “falls are part
of the race
Drs. Atkinson and Sears agree that
it is better for most people to lower
their sights, at least temporarily: ac-
AMERICANS BELIEVE:
In Abraham Lincoln’s wisdom, “Prop-
er ty is the fruit of labor; property is
desirable; it is a positive good in. the
world.” .Tust as all honest work is
dlgnified, so is the fruit of that work
a symbol of dignity. Private property
rights are essential to a life of dignity
and freedom. The essence of man’s
freedom is the right to háve and hold
that which he has earned.
ETERNAL VIGILANCE IS THE FRICE
OF LIBERTY!
complish these aims and then go on
to higher, but still realistic, goals.

Master your anxiety. If you worry
about everything from paying your
bills to threat of nuclear war, you háve
plenty of company — so much, in fact,
that one of the nation’s top magazines
recently devoted a cover story to “The
Anxious Age.” Psychiatrists and psy-
ehologists háve a word —- the German
term Angst — for feelings of fear, an-
xiety and anguish they observe in so
many people.

i Improve your understanding of
pthers Dr. Kurt Lewin, the famous
íowa University psychologist, advises
that we try to imagine what- the other
person’s duties or job requires to gain
an “inside” view of what he is feeling.
Dr. Ncal Cameron, Tufts College psy-
chologist, takés a similar view. He ob-
serves that all actions should be bal-
anced or cooperative: for instance,
when one person talks, the other list-
ens; when one carries a load, the other
opens the dooř. These are simple ex-
amples; more complex kinds of co-
operation — between husband and
wife; boss and employee — are possible
only when we think about the other
person’s role, and try to help him ful-
fill it.

Re-examíne your attitudes toward
eritieism. Thcre would be fewer hurt
feelings . — even, in many instances,
fewer hurt careers — if more people
view eritieism as an cpportunity rath-
er than a threat.
According to psyehologists, when a
person criticizes you, it sometimes
means that hc’s taken an active in-
terest in you! In any čase, the mature,
well-adjusted person will seek to ben-
efit from even unfair eritieism — look-
ing for the grain of truth in it and
asking himself what he can learn from
it— instead of frantically mobilizing
his defenses to fight it.
When ycu are doing the criticizing,
remember, your remarks will be bet-
ter received if you find something to
. commend first.
