You must acquire the habit of Cooperation and practice it in all
your plans.
You must Profit by Failure, your own and that of others.
You must cultivate the habit of Tolerance.
You must make the Golden Rule the foundation of all you do

You must make use of the Universal Law of Cosmic Habitforce,
through which all of these principles can be applied to transform not

Each day, one by one, call your seventeen soldiers out of the line
and study them. Make sure that the counterpart of each is developed
in your own mind.
All efficient armies are well-disciplined. The army that you are build-
ing in your own mind must also be disciplined. It must obey your
command at every step.
When you call out of the line the fourteenth soldier, Failure,
remember that nothing will go as far toward developing discipline as
will failure and temporary defeat. While you are comparing yourself
with this soldier, determine whether or not you have been profiting
by your own failures and temporary defeats.
Failure comes to all at one time or another. Make sure, when it
comes your way, that you will learn something of value from its visit.
It would not visit you if there was not room for it in your makeup.
