    Right principles: It is wise to know what comes first, and what to do first. To begin anything in the middle or at the end is to make a muddle of it. The athlete who began by breaking the tape would not receive the prize. He must begin by facing the starter and toeing the mark, and even then a good start is important if he is to win. The pupil does not begin with algebra and literature, but with counting and ABC.So in life the businessmen who begin at the bottom achieve the more enduring success; and the religious men who reach the highest heights of spiritual knowledge and wisdom are they who have stooped to serve a patient apprenticeship to the humbler tasks, and have not scorned the common experiences of humanity, or overlooked the lessons to be learned from them.The first things in a sound life and therefore, in a truly happy and successful life are right principles. Without right principles to begin with, there will be wrong practices to follow with, and a bungled and wretched life to end with. All the infinite variety of calculations which tabulate the commerce and science of the world, come out of the 10 figures; all the hundreds of thousands of books which constitute the literature of the world, and perpetuate its thought and genius, are built up from the 26 letters.

The fundamentals in all things are few and simple: yet without them there is no knowledge and no achievement. The fundamentals the basic principles in life, or true living, are also few and simple, and to learn them thoroughly, and study how to apply them to all the details of life, is to avoid confusion, and to secure a substantial foundation for the orderly building up of an invincible character and a permanent success; and to succeed in comprehending those principles in their innumerable ramifications in the labyrinth of conduct, UNKNOWN N N ©1913 James Allen;(P)2018 Audio Enlightenment http://www.audible.de/pd/B079ZV26RG?source_code=PNHFA145032019009G&ipRedirectOverride=true http://www.audible.de/pd/B079ZV26RG?source_code=PNHFA145032019009G&ipRedirectOverride=true De søvnløse 13.95 AVAILABLE De søvnløse De søvnløse Kim Leine År 2025, Tasiilaq i Østgrønland.
