If you want enemies, excel your friends; but if you want friends, let your friends excel you.
If you tell me how you get your feeling of importance, I'll tell you what you are.
When you're afraid keep your mind on what you have to do. And if you have been thoroughly prepared you will not be afraid.
If you act enthusiastic, you'll be enthusiastic!
Act as if you were already happy and that will tend to make you happy.
If your own mind is muddled, much more will the minds of your hearers be confused.
So if you aspire to be a good conversationali st, be an attentive listener.
If you must make a mistake, make a new one each time.
if you want to keep happiness , you have to share it !
If you are wrong, admit it quickly and emphatically.
Are you bored with life? Then throw yourself into some work you believe in with all your heart, live for it, die for it, and you will find happiness that you had thought could never be yours
Feeling sorry for yourself, and you present condition, is not only a waste of energy but the worst habit you could possibly have.
Really important goals are accomplished by people who will keep trying even when there seems to be no hope.
I deal with the obvious. I present, reiterate and glorify the obvious / because the obvious is what people need to be told.
