Chapter 1: Live in "day-tight compartments"

“Our main business is not to see what lies dimly at a distance, but to do what lies clearly at hand.”


Shut off the future as tightly as the past.... The future is today.... There is no tomorrow. The day of man’s salvation is now.


The best possible way to prepare for tomorrow is to concentrate with all your intelligence, all your enthusiasm, on doing today’s work superbly today.



“Take therefore no thought for the tomorrow; for the tomorrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.”


“Take no thought for the tomorrow.”


“Have no anxiety for the tomorrow.”


Whether in war or peace, the chief difference between good thinking and bad thinking is this: good thinking deals with causes and effects and leads to logical, constructive planning; bad thinking frequently leads to tension and nervous breakdowns.


One step enough for me.


Lead, kindly Light- Keep thou my feet: I do not ask to see The distant scene: one step enough for me.



“I ended up in an Army dispensary. An Army doctor gave me some advice which had completely changed my life. After giving me a thorough physical examination, he informed me that my troubles were mental. ‘Ted,’ he said,” ‘I want you to think of your life as an hourglass. You know there are thousands of grains of sand in the top of the hourglass; and they all pass slowly and evenly through the narrow neck in the middle. Nothing you or I could do would make more than one grain of sand pass through this narrow neck without impairing the hourglass. You I and everyone else are like this hourglass. When we start in the morning, there are hundreds of tasks which we feel that we must accomplish that day, but if we do not take them one at a time and let them pass through the day slowly and evenly, as do the grains of sand passing through the narrow neck of the hourglass, then we are bound to break our own physical or mental structure.”

‘One grain of sand at a time.... One task at a time.’


‘Every day is a new life to a wise man.’ I typed that sentence out and pasted it on the windshield of my car, where I saw it every minute I was driving. I found it wasn’t so hard to live only one day at a time.

I learned to forget the yesterdays and not to think of the tomorrows. Each morning I said to myself, ‘Today is a new life.’

Happy the man, and happy he alone, He who can call today his own: He who, secure within, can say: “Tomorrow, do thy worst, for I have liv’d today.”

One of the most tragic things I know about human nature is that all of us tend to put off living.

We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon— instead of enjoying the roses that are blooming outside our windows today.

Why are we such fools— such tragic fools?

we learn too late, is in the living, in the tissue of every day and hour.”

The late Edward S. Evans of Detroit almost killed himself with worry before he learned that life “is in the living,


No more worry for me— no more regret about what had happened in the past— no more dread of the future. I concentrated all my time, energy, and enthusiasm into selling those blocks.”


“The rule is jam tomorrow and jam yesterday but never jam today.” Most of us are like that— stewing about yesterday’s jam and worrying about tomorrow’s jam— instead of spreading today’s jam thick on our bread right now.


“has been full of terrible misfortunes, most of which never happened.” So has mine— so has yours.


We are racing through space at the rate of nineteen miles every second. Today is our most precious possession. It is our only sure possession.


Shut the iron doors on the past and the future. Live in Day- tight Compartments.
