The Second Ten Commandments

1.   Thou shall not worry, for worry is the most unproductive of all human activities.
2.   Thou shall not be fearful, for most of the things we fear never come to pass.
3.   Thou shall not cross bridges before you come to them, for no one yet has 
      succeeded in accomplishing this.
4.   Thou shall face each problem as it comes. You can only handle one at a time
       anyway.
5.   Thou shall not take problems to bed with you, for they make very poor bedfellows.
6.   Thou shall not borrow other people's problems. They can better care for them than 
      you can.
7.   Thou shall not try to relive yesterday for good or ill, it is forever gone. 
      Concentrate on what is happening in your life and be happy now!
8.   Thou shall be a good listener, for only when you listen do you hear ideas different
      from  your own. It is hard to learn something new when you are talking, and some 
      people do know more than you do.
9.  Thou shall not become "bogged down" by frustration, for 90% of it is rooted in 
     self-pity and will only interfere with positive action.
10. Thou shall count thy blessings, never overlooking the small ones, for a lot of 
      small blessings add up to big ones.
