Welcome back to my blog, this is the last review from a book "How to Stop Worrying and Start Living" At this time I would like to review part nine and part ten, in part nine there are three chapter and in part ten explain about some experience the readers after reading a book "How to stop Worrying and Start Living"
Let's read it!!
• Part Nine: How to Lessen Your Financial Worries
Here, Carnegie lays down the very basics of personal finance, from the simple “spend less than you earn” statements to the basics of budgeting. The advice is simple and very much geared towards families during the Depression, with such interesting dated tips as “never give life insurance money to a widow in cash.” Much like the previous section, the advice here can be found in a more modern context elsewhere quite easily.
To lessen financial worries, let's try to follow these eleven rules:
1. Get the facts down on paper.
2. Get a tailor-made budget that really fits your needs one.
3. Learn how to spend wisely.
4. Don't increase your headaches with your income.
5. Try to build credit, in the event you must borrow.
6.Protect yourself against illness, fire, and emergency expenses.
7. Do not have your life-insurance proceeds paid to your widow in cash.
8. Teach your children a responsible attitude towards money.
9. If necessary, make a little extra money off your kitchen stove
10. Don't gamble-ever.
11. If we can't possibly improve our financial situation, let's be good to ourselves and stop resenting what can't be changed.
• Part Ten: “How I Conquered Worry”
The book concludes with a large assortment of stories from various people, many of whom were well-known contemporaries of Dale Carnegie. I found Jack Dempsey’s essay particularly interesting. The stories reiterate the advice in several ways and are both culturally interesting and also great for providing examples of how Carnegie’s advice can be implemented in day-to-day life.
If we can't possibly improve our financial situation, maybe we can improve our mental attitude towards it. Let's remember that other people have their financial worries, too. If we can't have all we want, let's not poison our days and sour our dispositions with worry and resentment. Let's be good to ourselves. Let's try to be philosophical about it. "If you have what seems to you insufficient," said one of Rome's greatest philosophers, Seneca, "then you will be miserable even if you possess the world."
And the last, by reading the book, How to Stop Worrying and Start Living, you will learn timeless and proven principles on how to conquer worry, stress and anxiety. And as such, you can be more effective in your professional and personal life. In general, Carnegie considers the best solution to worrying is praying. Put your issues in God’s hands and trust that you’ll be safe and protected and that whatever happens, you’ll turn out fine. Relax, take care of your health, organize, work, get excited about activities inside and out of work, and get plenty of rest. Do these things, Carnegie notes, and you’ll have a handle on your worries.
