The Edna rule: Pick an apple, help a student
My cherished mentor, the late Edna Jost, had a cure for feelings of disappointment that came her way. She overcame bitterness by practicing what she called the “three day rule.” Here’s how it went. She got angry. She got over it. She then did something for someone in need. In doing so, she explained, she made someone else’s life better and then felt better herself. It was not uncommon for her to deliver a warm, freshly baked cake to one who was down on his luck or who needed a little human kindness. As a matter of fact, her cure for the blues worked so well for her that she practiced being kind to others until her own health failed.
