Chatter.
Refrain from using comments that can lead to unnecessary casual
conversations. You are wasting your time and energy.

Remember that there is a real person behind every role. Learn to

view people as human beings first and not mere workers. You will

treat other people better and in the same way, other people will

treat you better as well.

50. Avoid the Tendency to Put a Cost on Personal Things.

Don’t calculate too much. When you put a price tag on everything

you do, you will find it hard to do things you enjoy.

When seeking counsel, do not dismiss the advice you are given.

If you spend a lot of time commuting, make sure you spend the

time wisely.Read a book or listen to audio tapes.

waste your time, and expend your energy. Learn to differentiate

between the battles worth fighting for and the ones that you

should let go.

54. Think of Stress and Frustration as Distractions to Your Success.
You do not need stress to be successful. On the contrary, stress is

an obstacle that can inhibit your ability to stay focused and to

think clearly. Rather, remind yourself that stressful feelings will

not help you.

55. Accept the Fact that There’s Almost Always Going to Be

Someone Mad at You.
You can’t please everyone. Accept this fact of life and you will

find peace.

56. Don’t Let Your Own Thoughts Stress You Out.

sense of reality. It is best not to take some of your thoughts too

seriously.

Face it. Some people are incompetent. Don’t take it personally and

don’t allow this fact to get you down. Don’t allow yourself to lose

your cool.
