“You have inherited only a fairly good physical constitution.  You will always need to take care of yourself, but there is absolutely no reason why you should worry in regard to your health.

“Under stress and strain your nervous system may give you trouble, and there may be some tendency to digestive disturbances, but if you will practice moderation, live on a well-balanced and sensibly selected diet, and keep yourself from extremes of every kind you will probably maintain very fair health and strength for many years.

“Intellectually you have a good, active mind of the theoretical type.  Your mind is quick to grasp theories, ideals, abstractions, and such intangible and purely mental concepts.  Your imagination is active, and is inclined to run away with plans, schemes, and inventions, with speculations and with visions of future prospects.  However, your plans and inventions are liable to be purely along mental and intellectual lines, rather than practical.

“You do not observe well.  You are a little too careless in regard to your facts.  You therefore have a tendency to go ahead with your theories and your plans upon insufficient data or upon data which are not accurate because they have not been properly verified.

“This deficiency in observation also handicaps you, because you do not see things in their right relation, and your judgment is, therefore, liable to be erratic and unsound.

“You should compel yourself to get the facts.  You should suspend judgment until you have made sure that all of the premises from which you argue to your conclusions are sound and accurate.  Take nothing for granted.  Compel yourself to stick to the facts.  Not only ask yourself the question, ’Will it work?’ but make sure that the affirmative answer is absolutely accurate before you go ahead.

“Many of your characteristics are those of immaturity, notwithstanding your years, your education, and your experience.  You still retain many youthful tendencies.  You are inclined to be impulsive.  You are very responsive emotionally, and when your emotions are aroused you are prone to decide important matters without reference to facts, reason, and logic.  Another very youthful characteristic in you is your tendency to be headstrong, wilful, stubborn, and opinionated.  When you have arrived at one of your swift conclusions you find it very difficult to take advice.  Even when you do listen to what others say, you do not listen well.  Your mind jumps ahead to conclusions that are erroneous and which were never in the mind of the person giving you the advice.
