TEN COMMANDMENTSFOR A LONG ANDPEACEFUL LIFE
1. Thou shalt not worry, for worry is the most unproductive
of all human activities.
2. Thou shalt not be fearful, for most of the things
we fear never come to pass.
3. Thou shalt face each problem as it comes. You can
handle only one at a time.
4. Thou shalt not cross bridges before you get to
them, for no one yet has succeeded in accomplishing this.
5. Thou shalt not take problems to bed with you, for
they make very poor bed fellows.
6. Thou shalt not borrow other people's problems. They
can take better care of them than you can.
7. Thou shalt be a good listener, for only when you
listen do you hear ideas different from your own. It's very hard to learn
something new when you're talking.
8. Thou shalt not try tore-live yesterday for good
or ill—it is gone. Concentrate on what is happening in your life today.
9. Thou shalt not become bogged down by frustration,
for 50percent of it is rooted in self-pity and will only interfere with
positive actions.
10. Thou shalt count thy blessings, never overlooking
the small ones—for a lot of small blessings add up to a big one.
