Free maxims: be happy

BE HAPPY!

Free Maxims:

1. Do not put off until tomorrow what you can do today.
2. Never spend your money before you have earned it.
3. Do not buy anything useless under the pretext that "it is cheap".
4. Never regret not having eaten enough.
5. Work done with a good heart never tires.
6. Do not resort to others to do what you can do yourself.
7. Vanity and pride cost us more than hunger and thirst.
8. Begin things at the beginning.
9. Beware of worries and sorrows that are only in your imagination and never come to pass.
10. Count to ten before speaking, when you are dissatisfied; and to a hundred, when you are angry.

And, in the same country of practical people, the famous Carnegie gave the following rules for surely arriving at wealth. It must be acknowledged that they have not been too bad for him.

1. Be born penniless. - 2. Work tirelessly and save from the beginning. - 3. Examine your books and balance your accounts every day. - 4. Act promptly and decisively - 5. Always know what you want

That said, let's try...
