● Take A Trip. Enjoy the sights and sounds of nature, soak into the serene environment, forget about your city life and all your worries.
● Do the hard thing first. “Practice even what seems impossible. The left hand is useless at almost everything, for lack of practice. But it guides the reins better than the right. From practice.”
● Attack the dawn. At dawn, when you have trouble getting out of bed, tell yourself:
“I have to go to work as a human being.
What do I have to complain of, if I’m going to do what I was born for – the things I was brought into the world to do? Or is this what I was created for? To huddle under the blankets and stay warm?”
● Strict with yourself, tolerant with others, “Be tolerant with others and strict with yourself.”
● Stop complaining. “Don’t be overheard complaining… Not even to yourself.”
● Just do the right thing. Just that you do the right thing. The rest doesn’t matter. Cold or warm. Tired or well-rested. Despised or honored.
