1. Happy Men are free men (Ian Rand - FountainHead). The men who really are happy are the ones who've control over themselves & more importantly over their emotions. They don't reject society completely, but also don't follow it blindly. Just like you select good stuff from the market, these men also select good things from the society. Whatever bad they see in the society, they don't reject it. They keep it in the back of their mind & it helps them to be cautious in this society.
2. To
be Efficient in one's Work , we've to first know the work . That is, we've
to gather information about the work & use this information profitably.
The
process of gathering information is called Studying. And the process of applying
this information is called Thinking. These two processes are controlled by
our Mind .
So,
clearly defining things, for getting knowledge mind studies & for applying
it, mind thinks.
So,
for being efficient, we have to first study & then think about the possible
positive application of this new found knowledge .
3. A person who is under the control of his emotions & doesn't know this or doesn't want to take control of his emotions is an Emotional Fool . His decisions are always controlled by his emotions without any consideration/regard for any logic/reason . He doesn't learn from his mistakes & keeps on repeating them ; thus repeatedly taking the avoidable pain/setback .
4. Every
person needs a Motivation to live his/her life & to achieve & this
gives a much needed sense of purpose for living. Some people have money as
their motivation, some have power, some want respect in society, some go after
adventure & some have some other person as motivation .
People
who've 'Money' as their motivation , generally want most of the materialistic
things ; they want all the latest gadgets ; to make their life comfortable
.
