voice. Look at what you speak. Reflect your soul in your voice. Let
the manner of your voice be calm, smooth, collected, but energized
with positive forces. Have a cheerful voice, a voice that makes one
think of sunshine and smiles.

when a young married couple go home to live with the family. There is
about as much real life joy and harmony in it as there would be in a
jungle picnic of monkeys and parrots. There is just one place where
