You can't please everybody. Don't let criticism worry you. Don't let your neighbors set your standards. Do the things that you enjoy doing, but stay out of debt. Don't borrow trouble.
Imaginary things are harder to bear than the actual ones.
Since hate poisons the soul, do not cherish hostili ties and grudges. Avoid people who make you unhappy. Have many interests. If you can't travel, read about new places. Don't hold post-mortems.
