The thin man's personality and euro tionnl stability, often nerve-wratAed and high-strung. are too often dictated by his poor physical condition. Tiredness, low stamina and feelings of lassitude go against the inherent high metabolism There sits the thin man too tired to do anything yet too revved up to sit still. The explosion is expected when it comes, and it shows as irritableness. irrational impulses, and often stomach ulcers. On the physical aspect, the thin man has an increased risk of developing hypothermia as well as a greater chance of internal injury from an external shock to the body.

On top of everything. maybe the thin man does want to look like Charles Atlas. The thin man's routine of exercise requires longer than the 15 minutes allowed to males of other bodily shapes.

He is also a frequent contributor to such Fairway Group publications as Highlights Magazine, Profile. and Exchange. Bryson, a 1984 graduate of Conestoga College, has lived most of his life in the Twin Cities and eagerly anticipates the challenge of covering the Waterloo sporting scene. After a short stint with the Graveniturat News, Bryson joined the Chronicle staff in May of 1985 and has covered city hall and general news with the paper since that time. your Mi. To my way of thinking there 're two periods of time we should be equally concerned about - today and the ftr Even though we cannot be absolutely sure that a future exists for us, we would be wise to plan for one for economic and social reasons. Also, because so much of our happiness depends on being able to look forward to something. this is all the more necessary, especially if our pres- em happens to be bleak. Some people overdo this and concert- trate so much on the future that they forego enjoying the present. Have you ever noticed how many people seem to be waiting to be happy at some future time? They seem to think that happiness is something one must save up for, which leads one to think that they equate happiness with money. These are the people who enjoy having a lot of money but never spend it, or who buy works of art as an investment and not to enjoy their beauty. They like to have the best silverware. china and linen, and then put it away and never use it. They are the ones who will probably end up saying, "I waited too long to start living." - Fe/w people develop an awareness of the joy of living beyond the superficial pleasures of life, Those that du, stand out from the crowd. They're not pollyannas. They have their problems. too. their ups and downs, but that irrepressible joie-de- vivre keeps bubbling up all the time, But why so few? What happens to us during our lifetime is in direct relation to the way we spend our time. We find millions of people with "No. it's just too noisy and too cmded for me. I like beer, but the only pan of Oktoberfest I like is the parade."

The Greeks had I word for this pallid existence - they called it Hades! " Then there are those who are comin- ually preparing for a future that they don't seem to want to achieve. These are the perpetual students who always seem to require one more course before they are ready to take the final plunge and who spend their time dithering on the brink. What is living all about? Those that don't know are not really living, they are merely existing. These are outer-direct- ed people who allow things to happen to them, instead of making things happen: they allow their present circumstances to affect their thinking, instead of having their' thinking affect their Cir cumstances, They don't know that they can alter their lives by altering their attitudes of mind. The people who really think about living to the full spend their time wisely and enjoy it today, and at the same time, prepare for what they fully expect to be a pleasant and exciting future. Our tomorrows will be not unlike our todays. But life wastes itself while we are preparing to live.
