When the sun comes up, you'd better be running. You should try your hand at reducing your own principles to writing, or, at the very least, writing down principles that appeal to you and fit your circumstances, even though they may have been articulated by others. If not in open view, your principles should be kept in your mind's eye for both guidance and inspiration. Here are ten original principles, composed by a female member of a support group for unemployed white-collar workers in New York City. 1.Stop all criticism.
Criticism never changes a thing.
Refuse tocriticize yourself. Accept yourself exactly as you are. When you criticize yourself, your changes are negative. When you approve of yourself, your changes are positive. 2.Don't scare yourself.
