Human action produces the greatest benefits when it is focused on
providing rational solutions to critical problems. A wise man uses logic
to determine which difficulties are to be addressed with priority. He
applies his energies to overcome major obstacles and ignores small
inconveniences.
Actions that lead to happiness
Given sufficient time, logic and consistency
produce positive results. A rational approach to living gives you the
ultimate advantage in the fields of investment, health, career, or
relationships. Barring extreme bad luck or misfortune, ethical actions
lead to happiness.
The easiest way to accelerate your personal
growth is to concentrate your efforts on the area of your life where
problems are most pressing. Successful managers apply this strategy to
their businesses. For instance, when assembly difficulties slow down
production in a furniture factory, the solution might call for simpler
designs.
You only have one life to enjoy and it is up to you to
decide which path to follow. Assess your situation objectively, placing
facts above prejudice. Ignore empty promises and select your best
alternative on solid grounds.
Do not waste time trying to impress
people who do not care for you. Discard nonsense and embrace logic.
Design your strategy according to reality. See what works well in the
world and identify the keys to prosperity.
A sense of purpose
Complaining and
wishful thinking are ineffectual. Ambitious goals can only be achieved
through thoughtful plans and consistent implementation. Psychological
balance can only be maintained through rational values and a sense of
purpose.
Sound principles are as beneficial as they are
demanding. Irrationality may seem comfortable in the short-term, but
contradictions ultimately result in failure. Individuals determine their
own future by their passion to turn dreams into reality and their logic
in the choice of means.
