Allot time to finish in time!

Allot enough period of time for the works to be carried out. Allow also a reasonable time for the important and urgent works that may arise unexpectedly. Then proceed to do the works with free mind and without any tension. Then you will finish all those works satisfactorily without any fatigue at all! But do not look at the watch or the clock at that period, and do not think about the end time limit for that period - forget about it by concentrating your attention on the works. And do not let any other unimportant work other than those allotted time enter into that period of time.

Check impulsive desires!

Do not desire to get things at the same time and at the same spot. These impulsive desires are accompanied with instant distresses also. So, aim for getting a thing, and strive for getting it in the proper way and at the proper time - to get the whole benefit out of it without any hassles.

Strain in stress leads to distress!

Straining yourself while you are at stress affects both your body and mind, opening the gateway to all infections and illnesses. Natural response to a stressing stimulus is to get away from it. If you continue to strain within a stress it is not natural either to your body or mind. So, avoid distress by giving up straining and moving away from the stress.

Make today and tomorrow pleasant!

Unpleasant memories of the unpleasant happenings in the past (yesterday) make today an excited and agitated one, as both good and bad are expected, making the present good happenings to be enjoyed only half- heartily! But if the present day happenings are again unpleasant, they get added up to the unpleasant memories of the past making the present day useless and tomorrow an unwanted one. To make today and tomorrow pleasant, forget the past and follow a new path to get a different but new pleasure out of it - if possible in another place that is different from the present one.

Choosing the best work!

While doing any work first one should find out whether it is advantageous, pleasanter or easier, and then do it. Otherwise the work is worthless on the part of him/her.

Sort out work and time!

If you have to do many works at busy morning hours you will be in a fix to do which of them. First sort out the targeted important work among the others, then those already planned works and then the less important ones. First do that single targeted work. Next limit the planned works to s minimum to fit in the time available; or even cancel them with the less important works also. Allow enough time also for daily chores such as brushing teeth, taking bath etc. - and also to any important work that may arise then. Never add any new work in your list, that may be done later in your leisure time. If you bring this sorting and adapting to it as a daily routine you will see and feel all the works easier to do without any tension at all.

Be informed and prevent mind damage!

Expected or unexpected unpleasant events may damage mind of a person, if they repeat again and again. To control the damage to the mind, the person has to be informed about and 'be prepared' for any such events in life, and he/she must have also a philosophical attitude towards them, if they happen.

Do your duty and avoid inaction!

A quotation from Bhagavad Gita:

"Perform the prescribed duty; because, action is superior to inaction. Even maintenance of the body would become impossible for you by avoiding action."

For a Peaceful Mind, once again ...!

Avoid tension by these:
1) Don't suppress emotions when they are coming up: either weep it off or laugh it off - to get a relief in mind.

2) Don't subject yourself to stressful situations or environments, frequently: avoid these or divert yourself to something else.

3) Don't go on hesitating at your workplace: plan your work beforehand and be relaxed while starting the work and enjoy doing the work without any tension.

4) Don't get irritated when you fail to achieve as planned: think about the other successful achievements you have gained earlier and try again with elder workers' advices, better planning and good hope.

For a Peaceful Mind, again ...!

Avoid tension by these:
1) Don't compel yourself to do the works that you don't like or to do more than that you wish: do those works that are pleasing, and the rest to a bearable limit.

2) Don't place a check to your basic inner mind desires: relax rules to enjoy!

3) Don't do any work at home or office as a routine always: alter and have a change in work now and then.

4) Don't strain yourself to exhaustion: take rest always intermittently, to get a fresh mind and an energized body.

For a Peaceful Mind ...!

Avoid tension by these:
1) Don't undertake others' work and do it yourself: do your own work only.

2) Don't go and search for information about all things: go for only the required information.

3) Don't exert yourself to do all the works you come across: limit them.

4) Don't go on thinking one after the other while you are relaxing: be calm while you relax.

Learning as a chick does!

To learn something easily without any confusion one has to follow a 'Guru' with his guidance, like a chick follows its mother hen for guidance in pecking at food. Think about the condition of a chick without its mother hen. So, if you come across persons seeking guidance you can give them advice, guidance and help, and you need not hesitate in it.

Responding to a criticism

Respond to the real and sound criticism only, and not to that imagined, invented or supposed by you to have been spoken of, or to that imagined or invented by the critic himself!

Reward from an ideal goal!

Nobody can achieve the ideal goal. But however there must be an ideal goal in life centered towards our benefits. Everyone of us must strive to achieve the ideal goal even though we have little money and shorter span of time for that. Later on this will surely reward us as we proceed on in our way of life time - and also our descendants!

Choosing between Argument and Discussion

Argument on a matter gives only uncertainties at the end. A solution will not be arrived at easily. An argument often ends with emotional upheaval, and quarrel between the parties involved. But a discussion on the matter exposes the ignorance present in both sides of the parties. It makes them easily accept their ignorance and lets them learn calmly the facts and the realities by themselves, and to arrive at a solution easily and quickly - in a friendly manner.
