Worry
"When bills are on the eve of falling due, with not a dollar in hand with which to meet them, it is pretty difficult to learn not to worry, although I think I am learning more and more each year that all worry simply consumes, and to no purpose, just so much physical and mental strength that might otherwise be given to effective work." ~ Booker T. Washington. From his autobiography "Up From Slavery." If you haven't read that book I would strongly encourage you to read it. This is a man with incredible character. He changed how African-Americans think, act, and worked, after the civil war. He should be a role model for the youth of America. Anyhow, it is a good book. I am a little more then half way through it.
