Murphy's Law - "Nothing is as easy as it looks, everything takes longer than you expect; and if anything can go wrong, it will and at the worst possible moment."
Maxwell's Law - "Nothing is as hard as it looks, everything is more rewarding than you expect; and if anything can go right, it will and at the best possible moment."
EMBRACE CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM
Andre Moro said:
"Everything that is in harmony with our personal inclinations, appears to us as a truth, and everything else only serves to provoke our anger."
A prime example of this is when we are given advice or criticism. For the most part, we adore praise and our spirits are lifted when we are the objects of attentions, even if we praised for the wrong reasons. On the other hand we hate criticism and disparagement, even if it is said about us happens to be true.
George Bernard Shaw said:
"Perhaps the secret of depression is to allowing yourself to have time for superfluous thought, especially in whether you are happy or not. Don't allow such thoughts to creep into your mind; rather, you should remain steadfast in working. When you apply yourself to a serious task, your blood will begin to circulate and your mind will be spurred into action. Your will find that your new life has quickly been removed of anxiety and worrisome thoughts. Work, and do so on a continual basis; for this is the most inexpensive remedy available on the face of the earth and the most effective."
