Dale Carnegie's book are always a dime a dozen. It has plenty of practical tips to enhance a person's outlook in life. Like this book I am reading entitled " How to stop worrying and Start Living', he is again offering plenty of tips for those people who are somehow stuck in a rut.
Interestingly, he too believed that nothing is new on the principles he presented in his book. In fact, he goes on to explain that the principles shown are essentially compilations of old and new philosophies he carefully researched.
I liked a quote from Montaigne - the great French Philosopher when he said 'MY LIFE HAS BEEN FULL OF TERRIBLE MISFORTUNES MOST OF WHICH NEVER HAPPENED.'. Or the 21 most important words that young Sir William Osler heard. Words, from Thomas Carlyle, that would transform his thinking and would propel him lead a worry free life. " OUR MAIN BUSINESS IS NOT TO SEE WHAT LIES DIMLY AT A DISTANCE, BUT TO DO WHAT LIES CLEARLY AHEAD."
We're all guilty of such human syndrome. What about you? Are you still living in the past? Get on with it. Shed it off! Sieze the day!

Christ was right when he told his disciples not to worry. What good will it bring? Worrying won't improve anything; the day will worry about itself.
Luke 12:32 says,
"Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom."
