You can t please everybody. Don t let criticism worry you. Don t let your neighbor set your standards. Do the things you enjoy doing, but stay out of debt. Don t borrow trouble.
Imaginary burdens are harder to bear than the actual ones.
Avoid people who make you unhappy. Have many interests. If you can t travel, read about new places. Don t hold post-mortems. Don t spend your life brooding over sorrows and mistakes.
