1. Uselessness of worry
WORRYING about your hard work does not make the work any easier, and it only makes you less strong and courageous for doing it. WORRYING about some misfortune that you cannot help makes the misfortune no less and only renders its endurance harder. Thus far even common sense goes. The religion goes further, and assures us that even the hard things, the obstacles and the hindrances, become blessings if we meet them in faith, stepping stones upward, disciplinary experiences in which we grow ever into nobler, stronger life.

2. ON LOOKING FOR SLIGHTS
We must look to ourselves and take heed how we receive the acts ,the words, and the manners to others . If we are proud, and are always on the watch for slights and unfriendly hints and little hurts, we can find plenty of them. We need, therefore, to cultivate the spirit of humility in all our intercourse with others. We need to learn patience, forbearance, longsuffering, meekness, and forgiveness; in a world, love- love that thinketh no evil. Then we shall never be suspicious, never be exacting, never demand for our “rights�. We shall endure even intended wrongs patiently, sweetly, with true meekness.
