As-Salam & Salam 1 Malaysia...
A lot of philosophies told. They are passed through generations. Some touches some hearts. Some are just amusing...
I'd love to share a philosophy of which I've been holding on for 5 years until today. They are told by one of the ancient Roman's greatest philosopher known as Marcus Tullius Cicero. And after 20 centuries of his time, I repeat them here for us to share among us.
6 mistakes of men…
- The illusion that personal gain is made by crushing others.
- The tendency to worry about things that cannot be changed or corrected.
- Insisting that a thing is impossible because we cannot accomplish it.
- Refusing to set aside trivial preferences.
- Neglecting development and refinement of the mind, and not acquiring the habit of reading and studying.
- Attempting to compel others to believe and live as we do.
Of all the six mistakes of men pointed above, there is one that i really love and holding on strongly in particular. It is the mistakes no. 2 from the list: The tendency to worry about things that cannot be changed or corrected.
A teacher of one of today's author, Wayne Dyer (Wisdom of the Ages) put it in a simpler way:
"It makes no sense to worry about the things you have no control over, because if you have no control over them that makes no sense to worry about them. And it makes no sense to worry about the things you do have control over, because if you have control over, it makes no sense to worry about it. And there goes everything that is possible to worry about. Whether you have control or you don’t, either way, worry is a huge mistake..."
Well, to put it even simpler, "Don't Worry... Be Happy..."
Pass it on to our children... Will ya?
