By George Matthew Adams

"Next to winning yourself, is to lose to a delightful companion."

This was the remark I overheard on coming into the clubhouse after a wonderful day at golf. And much as I had enjoyed the day, that remark was worth more to me than all the rest put together. And it has come back to me time and again. Now I give it to you.

Next to -

I wonder if there is not packed into these little words some of the finest suggestive possibilities for happiness in all this life.

Let's see:

Next to - winning yourself, to see somebody else win.

Next to - breathing life and spirit and wonder and imagination and inspiration into the heart of some instrument of music yourself, to drink in the art of a master.

Next to - being a great leader, to be a worthy follower.

Next to - writing some great book or painting some great masterpiece, to interpret rightly what the writer or artist has felt; and thus, in living, to make his work a thing of satisfaction and permanence.

Next to - being helped, for you to help.

Next to - being loved, for you to love.

Next to - grandly succeeding, for you to help

bring success to someone else!
