For him there’s success and there’s success: the one based on external factors and subject to constant insecurity; the other internal and far more resistant to bad times.]]></description>

All you need is the willingness to take the next most obvious step—then repeat the process again and again, regardless of how you feel. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The trick to living through tough times is to focus on the essentials. If you want to make progress, you must be very clear and specific about what that means. In easy times, you can afford to be vague. Not now. To protect what matters most means abandoning the rest. If you don't, all that useless baggage will drag you down.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When things go wrong like this, we tend either to get mad or become depressed. And because we live in a ‘can do’ society, far more people get mad. The trouble with blaming ‘them’—whoever ‘they’ are—is that you are placing the problem ‘out there’ where you have no direct control and probably little influence. While you dissipate your energy in resentful complaints and self-righteous demands, ‘they’ are untouched.]]></description>

Pretend you’ve found a way to make it a near certainty and you’ll probably bet the farm on it—then have to run to the tax-payer to bail you out.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[John Fletcher explains that, when you give up the incessant mental chatter, when you learn to concentrate, you’ll not only work better, you’ll be happier. Good working environments don’t make happy workers all by themselves. You bring your emotional and intellectual baggage with you to work, just as you take it home again. You have to deal with that if you want to enjoy your working day more.]]></description>

We have no right to be happy, any more than we have a right to be rich, good looking, healthy or popular. If you are any of these, be grateful. If you aren’t, do what you can and accept the rest. Don’t add to your unhappiness by obsessing about it.]]></description>
