1. Make up your mind to be happy. Learn to find pleasure
in simple things.

2. Make the best of your circumstances. No one has everything, and everyone has something of sorrow intermingled with
gladness of life. The trick is to make the laughter outweigh the
tears.

3. Don't take yourself too seriously. Don't think that somehow
you should be protected from misfortune that befalls other people.

4. You can't please everybody. Don't let criticism worry you.

5. Don't let your neighbor set your standards. Be yourself.

6. Do the things you enjoy doing but stay out of debt.

7. Never borrow trouble. Imaginary things are harder to bear
than real ones.

8. Since hate poisons the soul, do not cherish jealousy, enmity,
grudges. Avoid people who make you unhappy.

9. Have many interests. If you can't travel, read about new places.

10. Don't hold postmortems. Don't spend your time brooding
over sorrows or mistakes. Don't be one who never gets over things.

11. Do what you can for those less fortunate than yourself.

12. Keep busy at something. A busy person never has time
to be unhappy.
