Family Law Self

Lesson VIII, Self-Control, is the "balance wheel" with which you control your enthusiasm and direct it where you wish it to carry you. This lesson will teach you, in a most practical manner, to become "the master of your fate, the Captain of your Soul".

Lesson I, The Master Mind: You Can Do It if You Believe You Can!, is a course on the fundamentals of success. Success is very largely a matter of adjusting one's self to the ever-varying and -changing environments of life, in a spirit of harmony and poise.

Lesson XII, Concentration, teaches you how to focus your attention upon one subject at a time until you have worked out practical plans for mastering that subject. It will teach you how to ally yourself with others in such a manner that you may have the use of their entire knowledge to back you up in your own plans and purposes. It will give you a practical working knowledge of the forces around you, and show you how to harness and use these forces in furthering your own interests.

Lesson XVI, Practicing the Golden Rule, will teach you how to make use of this great universal law of human conduct in such a manner that you may easily get harmonious co-operation from any individual or group of individuals. This lesson has nothing whatsoever to do with religion in any form, nor with sectarianism, nor have any of the other lessons of this course on the Law of Success.

Lesson XIV, Profiting by Failure, will teach you how to make stepping stones out of all of your past and future mistakes and failures. It will teach you the difference between "failure" and "temporary defeat", a difference which is very great and very important. It will teach you how to profit by your own failures and by the failures of other people.

Lesson XIII, Cooperation, will teach you the value of teamwork in all you do. In this lesson you will be taught how to apply the law of the "Master Mind" described in Lesson II. This lesson will show you how to co-ordinate your own efforts with those of others, in such a manner that friction, jealousy, strife, envy and cupidity will be eliminated. You will learn how to make use of all that other people have learned about the work in which you are engaged.

Lesson XV, Tolerance, will teach you how to avoid the disastrous effects of racial and religious prejudices, which mean defeat for millions of people who permit themselves to become entangled in foolish argument over these subjects, thereby poisoning their own minds and closing the door to reason and investigation. This lesson is the twin sister of the one on Accurate Thought, for the reason that no one may become an Accurate Thinker without practicing tolerance.
