Basic techniques in analyzing worry

Rule 1: Get the facts. Remember that Dean Hawkes of Columbia University said that “half the worry in the world is caused by people trying to make decisions before they have sufficient knowledge on’ which to base a decision.”

Rule 2: After carefully weighing all the facts , come to a decision.

Rule 3: Once a decision is carefully reached, act! Get busy carrying out your decision--- and dismiss all anxiety about the outcome.

Rule 4: when you, or any of your associates are tempted to worry about a problem, write out and answer the following questions:

1. What is the problem?
2. What is cause of the problem?
3. What are the possible solution?
4. What is the best solution?
