themselves and they'll listen for our hours is often caused not by work but by worry frustration and resentment to be interesting be interested when fate hands you a lemon make lemonade do the hard jobs first the easy jobs will take care of themselves each nation feels superior to other nations that breeds patriotism and wars first ask yourself what is the worst that could happen then prepare to accept it then proceed to improve on the worst i have come to the conclusion that there is only one way under high heaven to get the best of an argument and that is to avoid it avoid it as you would avoid rattlesnakes and earthquakes instead of worrying about what people say of you why not spend time trying to accomplish something they will admire most of us have far more courage than we ever dreamed possible tell the audience what you're going to say say it then tell them what you've said there are four ways and only four ways in which we have contact with the world we are evaluated and classified by these four contacts what we do how we look what we say and how we say it you never achieve success unless you like what you're doing be sympathetic with the other person's ideas and desires actions speak louder than words and a smile says i like you you make me happy i am glad to see you do the thing you fear to do and keep on doing it that is the quickest and surest way ever yet discovered to conquer fear it isn't what you have or who you are or where you are or what you are doing that makes you happy or unhappy it is what you think about it success is getting what you want happiness is wanting what you get there is only one way to get anybody to do anything and that is by making the other person want to do it you can conquer almost any fear if you will only make up your mind to do so for remember fear doesn't exist anywhere except in the mind if you are not in the process of becoming the person you want to be you are automatically engaged in becoming the person you don't want to be if you can't sleep then get up and do something instead of lying down there and worrying it's the worry that gets you not the loss of sleep happiness doesn't depend on any external conditions it is governed by our mental attitude don't be afraid to give your best to what seemingly or small jobs every time you conquered one it makes you that much stronger if you do the little jobs well the big ones will tend to take care of themselves remember that a person's name is to that person the sweetest and most important sound in any language if you want to conquer fear don't sit home and think about it go out and get busy fear is the result of a lack of confidence a lack of confidence is the result of not knowing what you can do a lack of knowing what you can do is caused by a lack of experience a lack of experience is caused by a lack of doing something new the best possible way to prepare for tomorrow is to concentrate with all your intelligence all your enthusiasm on doing today's work superbly today that is the only possible way you can prepare for the future keep busy it's the cheapest kind of medicine there is criticism is dangerous because it wounds a person's precious pride hurts his sense of importance and arouses resentment try honestly to see things from the other person's point of view big shots are only little shots who keep on shooting any fool can criticize complain and condemn and most fools do but it takes character and self-control to be understanding and forgiving today is our most precious possession it is our only sure possession remember that other people may be totally wrong but they don't think so knowledge isn't power until it is applied only knowledge that is used sticks in your mind if only the people who worry about their liabilities would think about the riches they do possess they would stop worrying the successful man will profit from his mistakes and try again in a different way every man i meet is my superior in some way in that i learn of him three-fourths of the people you will meet tomorrow are hungry and thirsting for sympathy give it to them and they will love you tell the audience what you're going to say say it then tell them what you've said there are always three speeches for every one you actually gave the one you practiced the when you gave and the one you wish you gave
