Recently I read a book called “How to stop worrying and start living” by Dale Carnegie. It’s a great book where it shows you how worrying will “eat” up your mind and affect the outcome.
And here’s are some of the excerpt from the book.
Let's not allow ourselves to be upset by small things we should despise and forget.
Remember "Life is too short to be little."
Question No. 1 -What am I worrying about? (Please pencil the answer to that
question in the space below.)
Question No. 2 -What can I do about it? (Please write your answer to that question in
the space below.)
Question No. 3 -Here is what I am going to do about it.
Question No. 4 -When am I going to start doing it?
1. How much does this thing I am worrying about really matter to me?
2. At what point shall I set a "stop-loss" order on this worry -and forget it?
3. Exactly how much shall I pay for this whistle? Have I already paid more than it is
worth?
