Big monopolies try to buy inventions and turn them to their own profits. When they fail, they resort to other tricks. Inventors have to overe thousands of difficulties put in their path before they can see their dreams realized. When Gee Stephenson was experimenting with the stream engine, there was much opposition from the Parliament, the newspaper, and landlords. They claimed that the noise and the smoke would kill cows, horses and sheep, that the engine would burst or that hot coals from it would set fire to their houses. So it was a very difficult matter for Gee Stephenson to persuade the people that trains could go on smooth rails, could pull carriages and wagons full of people and goods, and that there was no great danger of accidents. However, he was able to do it, and the first train driven by Stephenson himself showed that the newly invented steam engine was a plete success. 56.

My coach said that I had lots of potential, and I became captain of my 36 . That was before all the fun was taken out of 37 . At first, everyone on the team got 38 playing time. Then the team moved up to the top division after winning all its games, and the 39 started. Some parents, who had paid the coach extra money so their daughters could have 40 oneonone training, got angry when she didn39。t get satisfaction from things he used to enjoy. Fatigue and early morning sleeplessness are quite mon. The depressed person may want to sleep more than usual. He may lose his appetite and lose weight, or eat more than normally and gain weight. Another particular sign, seen in women, is crying spells. Many of these spells are short and mon. Depressives share the feeling that they have lost something very important to them, though often this is not really the case. From a feeling of loss, the depressed person progresses to false ideas that he is a loser and will always be a loser, that he must be worthless and perhaps not fit to live. He may even attempt suicide. So many very depressed people attempt suicide that depressive illness may be considered the only fatal mental illness.
