Worrying about dying will hardly help you live.

To err is human; to forgive people and yourself for poor behavior is to be sensible and realistic.

In a sense, the religious person must have no real views of his own and it is presumptuous of him, in fact, to have any. In regard to sex-love affairs, to marriage and family relations, to business, to politics, and to virtually everything else that is important in his life, he must try to discover what his god and his clergy would like him to do; and he must primarily do their bidding.

Even when people act nastily to you, don't condemn them or retaliate.

Convince yourself that worrying about many situations will make them worse rather than improve them.

Being assertive does not mean attacking or ignoring others feelings. It means that you are willing to hold up for yourself fairly-without attacking others.

Most things worth having require some sacrifice, usually more than you expect.
