Make your judgment trustworthy by trusting it. Cultivate regular periods of silence and meditation. The best time to build judgment is in solitude, when you can think out things for yourself without the probability of interruption.

The world needs all the help you can give by way of cheerful, optimistic, inspiring thought and personal example.

Cheerfulness has a directly beneficial influence upon health.

Let your intentions be good - embodied in good thoughts, cheerful words, and unselfish deeds - and the world will be to you a bright and happy place in which to work and play and serve

You are already of consequence in the world if you are known as a man of strict integrity.

Be an earnest student of yourself. Study your leading desires and tendencies.
