    Worry is the worship to the wrong God. 40 % of the worries never happen, 30 % have already happened, 12 % are unfounded health concerns, 10 % about nothing and 8% is the actual worry. 92 % of time is wasted thinking about worries having no basis. Worry will destroy health.

    Don't worry about what you can't change (complexion, handicapped ness, height etc).

    Default Self esteem

    Self esteem evolves out of your direct knowledge on your job, sense of conviction, commitment, co operation, trust, readiness for responsibility, willingness to accept mistakes - both yours and others.

    Most of us are uncomfortable with confrontation or even the idea of conflict in the workplace.

    Nobody likes to fail. While in an examination, failure is judged more ignorance than knowledge.

    You would like to be dealt with fairly, so deal with others fairly.

    Your voice is the most important gifts you have. Speak nicely.

    Learn to listen. Half battle is won with sincere listening.

    Prioritise your work - What is important may not be urgent and what is urgent may not be important.

    Nothing ever comes out as planned.

    The approach to a problem is more important than it's solution.

    No matter how well you perform your job, a superior will seek to modify the results.

    A committee is twelve men doing the work of one.

    The length of progress report is inversely proportional to the amount of progress.

    Default Smile

    Smile

    A smile is a language that even a baby understands.

    A smile is the light in your window that tells others that there is a caring, sharing person inside.

    Every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing.

    There are hundreds of languages in the world, but a smile speaks them all.

    Smiles are great investments : the more you collect, the better you feel.

    If you're not using your smile, you're like a man with a million dollars in the bank and no check book.

    A smile takes but a moment, but the memory of it lasts forever.
