You are something new in this world. Never before, since the beginning of time, has there ever been anybody exactly like you; and never again throughout all the ages to come will there ever be anybody exactly like you again.
Most of us have far more courage than we ever dreamed we possessed.
If we think happy thoughts, we will be happy. If we think miserable thoughts, we will be miserable.
Let's fight for our happiness by following a daily program of cheerful and constructive thinking.
So, to prevent fatigue and worry, the first rule is: Rest often. Rest before you get tired.
Ask questions instead of giving direct orders.
if you want to keep happiness , you have to share it !
People like people who help them like themselves.

Be a good listener. Encourage others to talk about themselves.
