149. Clarity of Mind

In order to allow your mind to function clearly, you should be careful to remain cool, calm and factual at all times. Do not argue simply for the sake of arguing and contradicting another's statements. Seek agreement rather than conflict, unity rather than division.

148. Being Alive

Only the living have problems. (We know them as mere situations that require our attention.) They exist to test us, challenge us and ultimately make us stronger. Relish the problems that life throws at you and see them for what they are - challenges to you to be the best you can be. The more points at which you engage with life, the more alive you will be.

147. Your Modus Operandi (M.O.)

First clear your workspace, then gather all your tools and materials and work solidly, steadily and methodically. Do not overlook details. Finish on time allowing enough time to clean up and put everything away properly.

146. Persistence

When tackling a problem, persist in your attack until it is solved. Every problem contains the seeds of its own solution. Just keep looking and you will find them.

145. Know Thyself

Written over the Oracle at Delphi are the words "Know Thyself". Look inward. Meditate, reflect and constantly seek the insight to perceive the causes of your successes and your failures. Learn and grow.
