Nobody is more persuasive than a good listener

Our fatigue is often caused not by work, but by worry, frustration and resentment.

Each nation feels superior to other nations. That breeds patriotism - and wars.

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.

Be honest, Look for areas where you can admit error and say so. Apologize for your mistakes. It will help disarm your opponents and reduce defensiveness.

Remember that other people may be totally wrong. But they don't think so. Don't condemn them. Any fool can do that. Try to understand them. Only wise, tolerant, exceptional people even try to do that.

I've found that worry and irritation vanish into thin air the moment I open my mind to the many blessings I possess.
