Why Worry?

When someone asks, "Aren't you worried about that?" tell them, " I've been meaning to worry about it- but I haven't got around to it!".* 
Some people will force us to worry, don't buy their idea. 
Let them worry about the traffic condition, about the high prices of commodities, etc. 
But you keep you mind focused by not worrying.

You should not Worry

We are only given 24 hours a day. 
All you can do is give your best effort until bedtime. 
Let tomorrow take care of itself.* 
Why keep worrying on what will happen tomorrow? 
Relax, let tomorrow take care of itlsef.

3. Strengthen Your Mental Fitness

Strengthening our mental fitness is like strengthening our muscles when we exercise. 
Yes, we need to exercise when we want our bodies to be fit. 
It is the same with our thinking. 
We have to practice thinking positive things. 
We have to practice changing our line of thinking.

Problem: A test for your mental fitness

Assume that every problem in your life is a lesson to make you stronger. 
Then you never feel like a victim.*
Be thankful if you have bigger problems.
The bigger the problem is, the happy you become.

Some more on mental fitness

You don't find happiness in the absence of problems. 
You find happiness in spite of your problems.*

On Mental Fitness

It is not necessarily an easy life that makes you happy. 
Usually it's the opposite.* 
Mental fitness will be put into test when we have bigger problems. 
But actually these are the instances that give us more happiness, not those easy problems.

4. Take Humor Seriously

Laugh at every time you have a chance to laugh. 
This is a very good practice for you to be happy. 
If you laugh at most of the time of the day, you feel that good things are happening to you. 
There many things that happen to you everyday that you can laugh at. 
Having forgotten to zip your trousers.
A funny text of your classmate.
The loud fart of your seat mate while having a long test, etc. 
You laugh when you have chance to.;
 It's good for your health.
 It makes your day happy.
