Seven Mistakes.
“There are seven mistakes of life that many of us make,” said a famous writer. These he listed in the following order:-
-
1. The delusion that individual advancement is made by crushing others down.
-
2. The tendency to worry about things that cannot be changed or corrected.
-
3. Insisting that a thing is impossible because we ourselves cannot accomplish it.
-
4. Refusing to set aside trivial preferences in order that important things may be accomplished.
-
5. Neglecting development and refinement of the mind by not acquiring the habit of reading.
-
6. Attempting to compel other persons to believe and live as we do.
-
7. The failure to establish the habit of saving money.
