One day German poet Otto Erich Hartleben consulted a doctor about his health problems. The doctor advised Hartleben to quit smoking cigarettes and to stop drinking alcohol. The doctor added, "This visit will cost you three marks." "I'm not paying you," retorted Hartleben, "because I'm not taking your advice." Undoubtedly, you have found this out through experience: Most people won't follow advice - regardless of how good it is - as was the case with poet Otto Erich Hartleben. Your advice may very well be helpful, but if it means that the recipient of the advice must put in some work and effort, he or she will likely discard it. Giving advice may not only be a waste of your time and energy - it can be dangerous as well.

Have you ever thought about someone you know who has succeeded in something quite remarkable? This could be starting a highly successful business, writing a blockbuster-selling book, designing an award-winning house, or going out with a stunning member of the opposite sex. You are wondering how someone like this could pull it off. The individual doesn't appear to have as much talent as you, be as smart as you, or be as attractive as you. If this person can do it, why can't you?

Common sense tells us that we shouldn't waste time on things that we can't change. This applies, not just to situations and events, but to people as well. Yet all of us fall into the trap of trying to change people to the way we would like them to be. If you fall into this trap yourself, you should question whether it's wise to try to transform others. Everything can make perfectly good sense if you never really think about it all that much - but sometimes you must. Fact is it's all too easy to overestimate your ability to change others. This includes friends, relatives, lovers, and neurotics.

As we discussed earlier, life is tough.Luckily, there is a way to make the game of life much easier. You are about to be reminded about (or introduced to) an awesome, paradoxical life principle. It is called The Easy Rule of Life. Following The Easy Rule of Life can get you from Loserville to Success City in record time. You may also want to call this principle The Easy Rule of Success. Once you master it, success will come relatively easy - much easier than it came before you mastered this rule. The Easy Rule of Life tells us that when we always do the easy and comfortable, life turns out difficult and uncomfortable.
