Practical Tips given by Mark Twain
“A man cannot be comfortable without his own approval.”
When a person does something without any satisfaction, then he/she wastes his/her valuable resources and time. Unless you approve your deeds, there will be no productivity in your work. Even though you have all the necessary instruments for the progress, but feel the inner disgust to what you are doing, there will be no personal growth in any of your initiatives.
“Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don’t mind, it doesn’t matter.”
Usually, the blocks for your productivity are only within your mind. If you would worry about what people think about you, they would definitely do so, because your thoughts are vividly reflected on your behavior. As soon as you do not pay attention to this, nothing will prevent you from doing your business.
“Against the assault of laughter nothing can stand.”
Use your sense of humor to make any situation easier. Any serious business cannot resist laughter. If you are in a good mood, humor can easily guarantee that the work will seem not so grim, but easy and joyful. Being relaxed, you can find the way out of any harsh situation.
“Anger is an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it is stored than to anything on which it is poured.”
Anger cannot be considered very helpful. Even if it appears that you feel a kind of relief, it is usually temporary. For the long terms, it will only deteriorate the situation. The next time you feel angry with someone, remember, you are the only one hurting yourself. Try to resolve the conflict and get rid of this unnecessary feeling.
“Don’t go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first.”
When you were a child, your parents provided you with all the necessary things and even more. As you grew up, you still have this feeling of provision and continue requiring the help from the world. You have to understand that you are the only one who is responsible for your deeds. Learn to depend only on yourself.
“A person with a new idea is a crank until the idea succeeds.”
As soon as you decided to change yourself, be ready to feel the change of surrounding, as well. The world will react either in a positive or negative way. By saying the world, we mean the people who prefer everything to be stable. So, be ready for different feedbacks.
