“To keep the mind functioning at its best and to overcome obstacles to its health and growth, it is well to remember the important values mentioned in the following admonition: “Learn the value of putting important things first; of facing difficulties squarely; of controlling the nervous system (control comes by degrees and requires much patience). Never hold grudges or criticize others in an unkindly spirit. Cultivate a pleasing disposition, and do not deceive yourself by believing a bad disposition is inherited. Use more intelligence than emotion in making decisions. Work faithfully and do not postpone important work. Have confidence in yourself and persevere in your efforts.”

“In running away from unpleasantness, we often miss out on pleasant things as well. Others cannot shield us from pain or from our own share of hurts and unpleasantness. The more quickly we learn to make emotional adjustments in our lives, the happier we will be ourselves and the easier we will make life for those around us.”

“We cannot live in a world of our own making, other people are necessary to our life and happiness; so it behooves us not only to make our own lives pleasant but to do the best we can to make life pleasant for those who necessarily come in contact with us.”
