How To Stop Worrying and Start Living Quotes

Our main business is not to see what lies dimly at a distance, but to do what lies clearly at hand.

The best possible way to prepare for tomorrow is to concentrate with all your intelligence, all your enthusiasm, on doing today’s work superbly today. That is the only possible way you can prepare for the future.

Take therefore no thought for the morrow; for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself.

Good thinking deals with causes and effects and leads to logical, constructive planning; bad thinking frequently leads to tension and nervous breakdowns.

Live in day-tight compartments.

Anyone can carry his burden, however hard, until nightfall. Anyone can do his work however hard, for one day. Anyone can live sweetly, patiently, lovingly, purely, till the sun goes down. And this is all that life really means.

How strange it is, our little procession of life! The child says, “When I grow up.” And then, grown up, he says, “When I get married.” But to be married, what is that after all? The thought changes to “ When I am able to retire.” And then, when retirement comes, he looks back over the landscape traversed; a cold wind seems to sweep over it; somehow he has missed it all, and it is gone. Life, we learn, is in the living, in the tissue of every day and hour.

Look to this day!
For it is life, the very life of life.
In its brief course
Lie all the verities and realities of existence:
The bliss of growth
The glory of action
The splendor of beauty,
For yesterday is but a dream
And tomorrow is only a vision,
But today well-lived makes every yesterday a dream of happiness
And every tomorrow a vision of hope.
Look well, therefore, to this day!
Such is the salutation of the dawn.

Rule #1
Shut the iron doors on the past and the future. Live in Day-tight compartments.

Confusion is the chief cause of worry. If a man will devote his time to securing the facts in an impartial, objective way, his worries will usually evaporate in the light of knowledge.

90% of worries will banish by taking these four steps:
1) Writing down precisely what I am worried about.
2) Writing down what I can do about it.
3) Deciding what to do.
4) Starting immediately to carry out that decision.


I find that thinking about our problems beyond a certain point is bound to create confusion and worry. There comes a time when any more investigation and thinking are harmful. There comes a time when we must decide and act and never look back.

Those who do not know how to fight worry, die young.

To solve 50% of business problems, apply this questions:
1) What is the problem?
2) What is the cause of the problem?
3) What are the possible solutions to the problem?
4) What solution do you suggest?


It is utterly impossible for any human mind, no matter how brilliant, to think of more than one thing at any give time.
