There
is
one
point
of
special
importance
in
connection
with
our
exercise
and
that
is
to
cultivate
the
play
spirit.
You
will
never
fully
enjoy
your
sports
and
you
will
never
obtain
all
possible
benefit
from
them
until
you
lose
your
dignity
and
learn
how
to
play.
Try
to
be
glad
that
you
are
alive
and
able
to
play
these
games.
One
great
drawback
to
American
sports
is
the
tendency
to
take
them
too
seriously.
There
is
too
much
of
strained
effort
involved
in
the
desire
to
win
the
game
at
any
price.
Keep
yourself
in
a
state
of
mind
where
you
"see
the
fun."
Though
"playing
to
win"
may
be
commended,
the
real
purpose
of
any
game
is
the
fun
and
benefit
that
is
secured
therefrom
whether
you
win
or
lose.
There
have
been
cases
when
members
of
a
boat
crew
or
a
football
team
have
actually
cried
over
a
lost
game.
Imagine
the
nerve
strain
involved
in
taking
athletics
so
seriously!
It
is
splendid
to
win,
but
it
should
also
be
pleasurable
to
lose
to
a
worthy
antagonist.
Do
not
take
your
games
too
seriously,
but
make
them
a
laughing
matter.
Only
by
assuming
this
attitude
can
you
get
the
greatest
possible
benefits
that
can
be
derived
from
games.
The
nature
of
your
exercise
does
not
matter
so
long
as
there
is
that
increased
activity
of
the
heart,
lungs
and
other
organs
which
tends
to
improve
the
circulation
throughout
the
entire
body.
The
exercise
must
insure
deep
breathing,
and
if
a
certain
amount
of
perspiration
is
induced
it
will
be
advantageous.
First
of
all
get
out-of-doors;
find
some
exercise
that
appeals,
some
alluring
attraction
which
will
take
you
away
from
the
confinement
of
your
home.
Live
as
much
as
you
can
in
the
open.
If
possible,
try
sleeping
out-of-doors.
Men
and
women
of
today
may
be
aptly
compared
to
sensitive
plants.
We
are
the
devitalized
product
of
the
universal
custom
of
coddling,
and
the
less
we
live
within
four
walls,
and
the
more
we
breathe
the
free
outdoor
air,
the
stronger,
healthier
and
more
capable
we
become.
