1. Start with praise and appreciation.
2. Think about your own mistakes before criticizing the other person.
3. Ask questions instead of giving direct orders.
4. Let the other person save face.
5. Praise the slightest improvement and praise every improvement.
6. Give the other person a fine reputation to live up to.
7. Use encouragement. Make the fault seem easy to correct.
8. Make the other person happy about doing the thing you suggest.

1.  Live in the present Don't worry about the futures or your past. Just live each day  until bedtime.
2. The next time Trouble backs you up in a corner, try the magic formula
   1. Ask yourself, "What is the worst that can possibly happen if I can't solve my problem?
   2. Prepare yourself mentally to accept the worst--if necessary.
   3. Then calmly try to improve upon the worst--which you have already mentally agreed to accept.
3. Remind yourself of the price you can pay for worry in terms of your health. "Those who do not know how to fight worry die young."

1. Get the facts. Remember "half the worry in the world is caused by people trying to make decisions before they have sufficient knowledge on which to base a decision."
2. After carefully weighing all the facts, come to a decision.
3. Once a decision is carefully reached, act! Get busy carrying out your decision--and dismiss all anxiety about the outcome.
4. When you, or any of your associates, are tempted to worry about a problem, write out and answer the following questions:
   1. What is the problem?
   2. What is the cause of the problem?
   3. What are all possible solutions?
   4. What is the best solution?
   5. Then Meditate 

1. Crowd worry out of your mind by keeping busy. Plenty of action is one of the best therapies .
2. Don't fuss about trifles. Don't permit little things--the mere termites of life--to ruin your happiness.
3.  Ask yourself: "What are the odds against this thing's happening at all?"
4. If you know a circumstance is beyond your power to change or revise, say to yourself: "It is so; it cannot be otherwise."
5.  Decide just how much anxiety a thing may be worth--and refuse to give it anymore.
6. Let the past bury its dead. Don't saw sawdust.

1. Let's fill our minds with thoughts of peace, courage, health, and hope, for "our life is what our thoughts make it."
2. Let's never try to get even with our enemies, because if we do we will hurt ourselves far more than we hurt them. Let's do asGeneral Eisenhower does: let's never waste a minute thinking about people we don't like.
3.  
   1. Instead of worrying about ingratitude, let's expect it. Let's remember thatJesus healed ten lepers in one day--and only one thanked Him. Why should we expect more gratitude than Jesus got?
   2. Let's remember that the only way to find happiness is not to expect gratitude--but to give for the joy of giving.
   3. Let's remember that gratitude is a "cultivated" trait; so if we want our children to be grateful, we must train them to be grateful.
4. Count your blessings--not your troubles!
5. Let's not imitate others. Let's find ourselves and be ourselves, for "envy is ignorance" and "imitation is suicide."
6. When fate hands us a lemon, let's try to make a lemonade.
7. Let's forget our own unhappiness--by trying to create a little happiness for others. "When you are good to others, you are best to yourself."
