Way 2: Be self sufficient, "go it alone," avoid close social ties. Way 3: Be loving, sympathetic, concerned, respectful, and helpful with others, not greedy or controlling or aggressive. Way 4: Have fun without getting too involved with others. You can't control the world so enjoy life, for tomorrow you may die. To fully enjoy life, think of "number one" first; let yourself go! 24 Way 5: Get involved with others for fun and achieving common goals. Give of yourself to others to make this "the good life," don't withdraw or be self-centered. Way 6: Work hard to solve the problems we face. Don't follow the past or merely dream of the future, do something! Science can solve many of our problems. Way 7: Accept all philosophies, not just one. Fun, action, and contemplation in equal proportions is the best way to live. Way 8: Enjoy the simple, available, daily pleasures of home, relaxation, and friends. Way 9: Stop seeking, be receptive, then wisdom and the good things of life will come freely. Way 10: Constantly seek self-control, firmly directed by reason and high ideals. Guard against seduction by comfort, selfish impulses, the urge to "cop-out" etc. Way 11: The internal world of ideas, dreams, sensitivity, and self-knowledge is a better place to live than in the external world.
_____ _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ Way 12: Use all one's energy to build something, to overcome obstacles, to climb a mountain because it is there. Use all the power you have. Way 13: Let yourself be quietly and serenely used by others, by the world, and by the great powers that be, for their purposes are good. Let the true purposes of life be fulfilled.
