Some good tips from Ben Stein

10 Thoughts on How to Not to Go Crazy

1. Here’s a good way to wake up: in gratitude for just being alive.
2. Much of life is a gray area. Get used to it.
3. Not every day will be a great day. An ordinary day is good enough.
4. Harboring resentment against someone is like taking poison and expecting someone else to die.
5. A good relationship with God is like air-condition for the soul. It cools down the craziness.
6. Sometimes the only thing you get out of doing the right thing is . . . doing the right thing.
7. If you’re bored, it’s probably because you’re boring.
8. When in doubt about how to get there, ask those who are there.
9. If you really want to change your mood, do a random act of kindness and tell no one.
10. Love is a verb, not a noun.
