The Art of Writing Letters
The pen is mightier than the sward! The pen in your hand is a magic wand with which you can send joy,hope, love and courage across deserts and plains, over mountains and seas, around the world and around that corner….
Put your words in a letter. Spoken words die on the empty air. Words in a letter endure and can be read again and again.
Tell those you love that your love them- and tell them now while they are alive and eager for appreciation and praise. Send them love letters!
When families are scattered in many states, and in foreign lands, hold them together with letters.
Friends tend to fade away through neglect. Keep friendships alive with letters.
If you feel burned up with resentment and anger at someone, tell him off in a letter. Get rid of the venom, get it out of your system. Then burn the letter!
Young people need to be constantly encouraged to make the most of their lives. Letters serve as pats on the back to cheer them on.
The book that inspire you, the painting that warmed your heart. The magic that thrill you, thank with letters those whose toil and devotion have enriched your life.
When someone wins an award, gives a speech, leads a drive, preaches an eloquent or contributes to the general good in any way, lift his spirit with a letter of congratulation.
The doctor who saves your life, who sat for long hours at your beside, write a letter of gratitude for all he has done for you.
Keep a note book handy in which to jot down thoughts starters: experiences, adventures, happenings, good news, quotations, to put sparkle into your letters.
Collect cartons, snapshots, items from newspapers and magazines that have special significance to people you know. Then tuck them in with you letters.
The coming of the postman is like the daily round of a Santa Claus. Your letters can be gifts to add a new glow, to the lives of people.
All you need to write a letter is a pen, a piece of paper and you. Get into the envelope and seal the flap.

The Art of Tolerance
He who would practice the art of tolerance must guard well against an attitude of superiority, smugness, indifference and coldness. These qualities are tolerance turned wrong side out!
Tolerance is warm. It reaches out the hand of friendship in spite of all differences.
Tolerance is understanding. It is open to new light. He who is tolerant is always eager to explore viewpoints other than his own.
Tolerance is deep. It creates a foundation of faith in humanity underneath disagreements, thus preventing prejudice and resentment. It may reject the argument, but it always respects the man.
Tolerance radiates good will. It disagrees agreeably. It unites men in spirit even though they are a thousand miles apart in their convictions.
Tolerance practices fair play. It does not force one man’s views on another. The tolerant man makes up his own mind and extends to others the same freedom.
Tolerance refuses to hate. Tolerance is sympathetic. It looks through mental barriers into the human heart.
Tolerance does not look down on others, it looks up to them. Tolerance towers differences. It is bigger than race, colour, creed, or politics.

The Art of Thinking
The art of thinking is the greatest art of all. The thinker knows he is today where his thoughts have taken him and that he is building his future by the quality of the thoughts he thinks.
He sets no limitations on the power of thought; he recognizes that big thinking precedes big achievement.
He creates mental pictures of his goals, then works to make those pictures become realities.
He knows that everything starts with an idea and that the creative power of thought is the greatest power in the universe.
He sees with the”single eye” of intense concentration, seeking facts just as a powerful searchlight penetrates the darkness.
He keeps an open mind observing, analyzing, considering, questioning-looking for the hidden key which will unlock the problem.
He thinks his mind as a factory and gives it the raw material, the facts and data, from which ideas are fashioned.
He used the magic power of his subconscious mind, commanding it to come up with ideas while he sleeps: he knows that though, like a tree, grow night and day.
He studies the laws of cause and effect and strives to work in harmony with them.
He approaches problems both intuitively and logically; he uses the light of his imagination to create and his critical mind to judge.
He avoids the one-track mind and sends his mind forth in all directions to expand the range of his mental horizons.
He strives to develop a mature mind without losing the simplicity of childhood.
He creates ideas with humility knowing that behind the idea that he calls his own are the thoughts and efforts of many men.
He exercises his God-given power to choose his own destiny and he tries to decide wisely and well.

The Art of Personal Efficiency
To manage others successfully, a man must first manage himself. Personal efficiency is creative self-management. It is not getting ahead of others, but getting ahead of yourself.

It is putting first things first, doing one thing at a time and developing the art of intensive concentration.
It is breaking big tasks down into their smaller parts.
It is not being a slave to system but making system a slave to you.
It is making notes and letting pencil and paper remember for you.
It is using Kipling’s “six honest serving men What and Why and When and How and Who and Where.
It is building the efficient mentality of balance, perception, organization, ability and stamina.
It is seeking the counsel of wise men in person and through their writings and using their wisdom and experience to help you to live efficiently.
It is weaving the cables of constructive habit so that right action will become automatic. In sport and in business good habits mark the champion.
It is having a goal and mapping out a personal program of how to reach it.
It is setting up personal incentives-promising yourself rewards for work completed.
It is guiding your life instead of drifting.

The Art of Listening
The key to the art of listening is selectively. You stand guard at the ear-gateway to your mind, heart and spirit. You decide what you will accept….
Listen to the good. Tune your ears to love, hope and courage. Tune out gossip, fear and resentment.
Listen to the beautiful. Relax to the music of the masters; listen to the symphony of nature- hum of the wind in the treetops, bird songs, thundering surf.
Listen with your eyes. Imaginatively listen to the sounds in a poem, a novel, a picture.
Listen critically. Mentally challenge assertions, ideas, philosophies. Seek the truth with an open mind.
Listen with patience. Do not hurry the other person. Show him the courtesy of listening to what he has to say, no matter how much you may disagree. You may learn something.
Listen with your heart. Practice empathy when you listen; put yourself in the other person’s place and try to hear his problems in your heart.
Listen for growth. Be an inquisitive listener. Ask questions. Everyone has something to say which will help you to grow.
Listen to yourself. Listen to your deepest yearnings, your highest aspirations, your noblest impulses. Listen to the better man within you.

The leader assumes that his followers are working with him, not for him.
He considers them partners in the work and sees to it that they share in the rewards. He glories the team spirit.
The leader duplicates himself in others. He is a man builder. He helps those under him to grow big because he realizes that the more big men an organization has the stronger it will be.
The leader does not hold people down, he lifts them up. He reaches out his hand to help his followers scale the peaks.
The leader has faith in people. He believes in them, trusts them and thus draws out the best in them.He has found that rise to his high expectations.
The leader uses his heart as well as his head. After he has looked at the facts with his head he lets his heart take a look, too. He is not only a boss- he is a friend.
The leader is a self- starter. He creates plans and sets them in motion. He is both a man of thought and a man of action- both a dream a dreamer and doer.
The leader has a sense of humour. He is not a stuffed shirt. He can laugh at himself. He has a humble spirit.
The leader can be led. He is not interested in having his own way, but in finding the best way. He has an open mind.

The Art of Laughter
Meet the challenge of life with the art of laughter….
Learn laughter from the little children by thinking their thoughts, dreaming their dreams and playing their games.
Develop a playful attitude toward problems; toss them around; handle them with a light touch.
Consider the power of laughter to prick the balloons of pretense and to deflate stuffed shirts.
Inject laughter into tense situations to save the day; laughter calms tempers and soothes jangled nerves.
Use laughter to set healing vibrations into motion- to fill a room with the sunshine of good cheer.
Guard yourself against the gloomy outlook . Tell the funny side of your difficulties; impersonal contemplation is the secret of laughter and perspective.
Most of all, learn to laugh at yourself; meet each day with a sense of humour.
Laughter is the best medicine for a long and happy life. He who laughs ….lasts!

The Art of Hope
Hope comes first, life follows. Hope gives power to life. Hope rouses life to continue, to expand to grow, to reach out, to go on.
Hope sees a light where there is not any. Hope lights candles in millions of despairing hearts.

Hope never sounds retreat. Hope keeps the banners flying.
Hope revives ideals, renews dreams, revitalizes visions.
Hope scale the peak, wrestles with the impossible, achieves the highest aim.
When you reach the end of your rope, use hope to tie a knot in it- and hang on!
