Gratitude list

 

         Gratitude list

Book One
Pg.5 Marcus Aurelius

Father :
Mildness of Temper
Unchangeable resolution in things after due deliberation
No vainglory in honors
Love of labor and perseverance

Not satisfied with first appearances
Give without display
Good manager of expenditure
Never any mean thoughts of Action or love of novelty

On commodities of Life :
enjoy them without affectation when you have
and not want them when you don't have

Easy in conversation
reasonable care of body's health
give way to those who had expertise in knowledge
be steady about the same things
show prudence and economy in an exhibition of public spectacles and buildings

care about what ought to be done rather than the reputation which is got by a man's acts

abstain from / sober about things that i am too weak to resist
but also to bear the things and engage in things that are painful and loathsome

How to live on 24 hours a day

Arnold Bennett was a prolific author in the early 20th Century. I read his book "How to live on 24 hours a day" He explains his process in his book : that resulted him in being a prolific author: following are the learning: even in the busiest week, find 7-1/2 hours of time beyond the work ; Focus those 7-1/2 hours on thinking Time practice honest self-reflection using the below questions: what do want for yourself? what motivates you? what scares you? what embarrasses you? What are you proud of? What beliefs do you have that might be wrong? Are you caring for yourself or harsh with yourself? Authors Arnold Bennett
