There is a certain degree of satisfaction in having the courage to admit one's errors.

Give your problem all the thought you possibly can before a solution is reached. But when the matter is settled and over with, worry not at all.

When you face a problem, solve it then and there if you have the facts necessary to make a decision. Don't keep putting off decisions.

I once succumbed to the fad of fasting and went for six days and nights without eating. It wasn't difficult. I was less hungry at the end of the sixth day than I was at the end of the second. Yet I know, as you know, people who would think they had committed a crime if they let their families or employees go for six days without food; but they will let them go for six days, and six weeks, and sometimes sixty years without giving them the hearty appreciation that they crave almost as much as they crave food.

Be sympathetic with the other person's ideas and desires.

This is a hurried age we're living in. If you've got anything to say, say it quickly, get to the point and stop, and give the other man a chance to talk.

Believe that you will succeed, and you will.
