How to Solve Worry Problems
The Great Nobel Prize winner in medicine, Dr. Alexis Carrel, once said, “Businessmen who do not know how to fight worry die young.” ① Then how can we find a quick, surefire (万全的) recipe for handling worry situations? Here are a few basic steps to deal with different kinds of worries.
Get the facts
Why is it so important to get the facts? Because unless we have the facts, we can’t possibly
even attempt to solve our problems intelligently. Without the facts, we will be left in confusion. ② 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. If a man will devote his time to securing facts in an objective way, his worries usually disappear in the light of knowledge.
③________
However, getting all the facts in the world won’t do any good until we figure out what these facts mean and interpret them. It is much easier to achieve this after writing them down. In fact, merely writing the facts on a piece of paper and stating our problem clearly goes a long way toward helping us to reach a sensible decision. Therefore, when we are worried, sit down and write down two questions – and the answers to these questions, “What am I worrying about?” and “What can I do about it?”
Arrive at a decision
Worry is killing. So we will probably save our life by sitting down and writing out all the various steps we could take and then writing down the probable consequences of each step and calmly coming to a decision. Experience has proved the enormous value of arriving at a fixed decision.④ .
Act on that decision
⑤ Don’t stop to reconsider. Don’t begin to hesitate and retrace (折返) our steps. Don’t lose ourselves in self-doubting which causes other doubts. Don’t look back our shoulders. A. Analyze the facts. B. Write down our worries. C. This is the chief cause of worry.
D. There comes a time when we must decide. E. Once we have made a decision, go into action. F. And so do housewives, horse doctors and bricklayers.
G. It is the failure to reach a definite decision that drives men mad.
