"How To Stop Worrying And Start Living" is a book authored by Dale Carnegie. This blog provides the book summary and encourage to read it.
"Our main business is not to see what lies dimly at a distance, but to do what lies clearly at hand."
"The best possible way to prepare for tomorrow is to concentrate with all your intelligence, all your enthusiasm, on doing today's work superbly today."
Begin the day with Christ's prayer: "Give us this day our daily bread."
Whether in war or peace, the chief difference between good thinking and bad thinking is this: good
thinking deals with causes and effects and leads to logical, constructive planning; bad thinking
frequently leads to tension and nervous breakdowns.
When we start in the morning, there are hundreds of tasks which we feel that we must
accomplish that day, but if we do not take them one at a time and let them pass through the day slowly and evenly, then we are bound to break our own physical or mental structure.'
... One task at a time.
Let's be content to live the only time we can possibly live: from now until bedtime.
"Anyone can do his work, however hard, for one day. Anyone can live sweetly, patiently, lovingly, purely, till the sun goes down. And this is all that life really means."
'Every day is a new life to a wise man.'
I found it wasn't so hard to live only one day at a time. I learned to forget the yesterdays and to not-think of the tomorrows. Each morning I said to myself: 'Today is a new life.'
"The child says: 'When I am a big boy.' But what is that? The big boy says: 'When I grow up.' And then, grown up, he says: 'When I get married.' But to be married, what is that after all? The thought changes to 'When I'm able to retire." And then, when retirement comes, he looks back over the landscape traversed; a cold wind seems to sweep over it; somehow he has missed it all, and it is gone. Life, we learn too late, is in the living, in the tissue of every day and hour."
"Enjoy the day." Or, "Seize the day." and make the most of it.
