Control your thoughts.

Don't put things off.

Remember how long you have been putting this off, how many times you have been given a period of grace by the gods and not used it

Train your thoughts.

You need to avoid certain things in your train of thought: Everything random, everything irrelevant. And certainly, everything self-important or malicious.

Train your thoughts.

When you wake up in the morning, tell yourself: the people I deal with today will be meddling, ungrateful, arrogant, dishonest, jealous and surly. They are like this because they can't tell good from evil.
