YOU SHOULD WORRY.
When people advise you not to worry, I wouldn’t take their dope in a hurry! Columbus worried for all he was worth About the general shape of the earth And finally, worried about his notion, He worried his fleet across the ocean! In Christopher’s case, his worry meant That he discovered a continent. (Worry, my son, in Christopher’s style, Over the things you find worth while.) Edison worried about the lights By which belaboured so late o’ nights; Worried and worked with vim incessant, And thus invented the incandescent! (Worry, my son, and worry some mere Over the things you are striving for.) Show me the man who doesn’t worry— I’ll show you a fool whose brain is furry. The fellow whose deeds are worth recall, Were worriers, worriers, worriers all! (Worry, my son, in deed and speech, Over the stars that you hope to reach.) —Borton Braley,'in St. Nicholas Magazine.
