The first requirement of effective

 living is that we should have some

sort of aim .

No aim can be ach ieved without

determination . The difficulties that can

be overcome , the problems that can be solved ,

and the success that can be achieved by the exercise

of the will , are simply astonishing . here lies one of

the truly dynamic powers of the human spirit .

But coupled with the will there must be an emotional

drive of imagination , too .

I love your eyes , your cherry lips,

the love that always lingers ,

your way with words and random blips .

love is where the eyes meet with passion ,

for the eye cannot hide what the heart feels .

real life seldom lived up to romantic fiction .

Class ,social status , and income continued

to play a role in the choice of a mate .

But all such considerations were supposed

to be secondary to Love with a capital L .

Those who look ahead to working at home

with a spouse , instead of spending the main

part of their waking lives away ,are likely to

take more into consideration than simple

sexual and psychological gratification----or

social status , for that matter . They may begin

to insist on Love Plus ----sexual and psychological

gratification plus brains , love plus conscientiousness,

responsibility , self-discipline , or  other work-related

virtues . We may  ---- who knows ?

With such a change the criteria for marriage ,

the very definition of love would be transformed.....

It was love ,the popular culture assured us ,

that makes the world go round .

that is to lose your heart to the right man or woman .
