9 Rules

If you feel,  anyone offended against you follow these 9 rules:


1. Consider that we are made for one another. I and every other is a part of the whole!

2. Consider what kind of people you sit with , at the table: what are their compulsions, pride, and opinions

3. If people have done wrong to you, they have done so involuntarily and in ignorance

4. Consider that you also do many things  wrong due to cowardice, concern about reputation, or some such mean motive

5. Consider that you don't even understand if people are doing wrong or not. Everything you hear is an opinion; everything you see is your supposed perspective.

6. Consider this when you are vexed or grieved: man's life is only a moment

7. Consider that it is not other acts that disturb us, but it is our own opinions that disturb us. Take away those opinions- by reflecting that no wrongful act of another can bring shame on me.

8. Consider that pain brought on us by anger and vexation caused by such acts is much more than the pain caused by the acts themselves.

9. Consider to correct him by telling him gently:" Not so my child we are constituted by nature for something else ; I shall certainly not be injured but you are injuring yourself;" and  show him the general principles of philosophy

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
