Fear is a great enemy of mankind. Most of us live in fear mostof our lives. The greatest fears of mankind as outlined by Dr.Napoleon Hill in his Law of Success include the fear of poverty,the fear of death and the fear of criticism.

Anger is negative and it does not solve any problem butcompounds your troubles in life. A positive mental attitude isthe foundation of meaningful achievement. Do not let others makeyou to lose your balance and mental poise. It is only the calmmind that is capable of envisioning great plans and helping oneto surge forward in life. The worst thing about anger is that itaffects you more than the person or institution your anger isdirected against. In the words of the Buddha, you will not bepunished for your anger; you will be punished by your anger. Andalways remember that the danger in anger is that anger is onlyone letter short of danger. Learn to forgive others for your owngood.
