The tides advance; the tides recede. Winter goes and summer comes. summer wanes and the cold

increases. The sun rises; the sun sets. The moon is full; the moon is black. The birds arrive; the

birds depart. Flowers bloom; flowers fade. Seeds are sown; harvests are reaped. all nature is a

circle of moods and I am a part of nature and so, like the tides, my moods will rise; my moods will

fall.

Today I will be master of my emotions.

It is one of nature's tricks, little understood, that each day I awaken with moods that have changed

from yesterday. Yesterday's joy wilI become today's sadness; yet today's sadness will grow into

tomorrow's joy. Inside me is a wheel, constantly turning from sadness to joy, from exultation to

depression, from happiness to melancholy. Like the flowers, today's full bloom of joy will fade

and wither into despondency, yet I will remember that as today's dead flower carries the seed of

tomorrow's bloom so, too, does today's sadness carry the seed of tomorrow's joy.

Today I will be master of my emotions.

And how will I master these emotions so that each day will be productive? For unless my mood is

right the day will be a failure. Trees and plants depend on the weather to flourish but I make my

own weather, yea I transport it with me. If I bring rain and gloom and darkness and pessimism to

my customers then they will react with rain and gloom and darkness and pessimism and they will

purchase naught. If I bring joy and enthusiasm and brightness and laughter to my customers they

will react with joy and enthusiasm and brightness and laughter and my weather will produce a

harvest of sales and a granary of gold for me.

Today I will be master of my emotions.

And how will I master my emotions so that every day is a happy day, and a productive one? I will

learn this secret of the ages: Weak is he who permits his thoughts to control his actions; strong is

he who forces his actions to control his thoughts. Each day, when I awaken, I will follow this plan

of battle before I am captured by the forces of sadness, self-pity and failure-

If I feel depressed I will sing.

If I feel sad I will laugh.

If I feel ill I will double my labor.

If I feel fear I will plunge ahead.

If I feel inferior I will wear new garments.

If I feel uncertain I will raise my voice.

If I feel poverty I will think of wealth to come.

If I feel incompetent I will remember past success.

If I feel insignificant I will remember my goals.

Today I will be master of my emotions.

Henceforth, I will know that only those with inferior ability can always be at their best, and I am

not inferior. There will be days When I must IN THE WORLD constantly struggle against forces

which would tear me down. Those such as despair and sadness are simple to recognize but there

are others which approach with a smile and the hand of friendship and they can also destroy me.

Against them, too, I must never relinquish control-

If I become overconfident I will recall my failures.

If I overindulge I will think of past hungers.

If I feel complacency I will remember my competition.

If I enjoy moments of greatness I will remember moments of shame.

If I feel all-powerful I will try to stop the wind.

If I attain great wealth I will remember one unfed mouth.

If l become overly proud I will remember a moment of weakness.

If I feel my skill is unmatched I will look at the stars.

Today I will be master of my emotions.

And with this new knowledge I will also understand and recognize the moods of him on whom I

call. I will make allowances for his anger and irritation of today for he knows not the secret of

controlling his mind. I can withstand his arrows and insults for now I know that tomorrow he will

change and be a joy to approach.

No longer will I judge a man on one meeting; no longer will I fail to call again tomorrow on he

who meets me with hate today. This day he will not buy gold chariots for a penny, yet tomorrow

he would exchange his home for a tree. My knowledge of this secret will be my key to great

wealth.

Today l will be master of my emotions.

Henceforth I will recognize and identify the mystery of moods in all mankind, and in me. From

this moment I am prepared to control whatever personality awakes in me each day. I will master

my moods through positive action and when I master my moods I will control my destiny.

Today I control my destiny, and my destiny is to become the greatest salesman in the world!

I will become master of myself.

I will become great.

今天我学会控制情绪。

潮起潮落，冬去春来，夏末秋至，日出日落，月圆月缺，雁来雁往，花飞花谢，草长瓜熟，

自然界万物都在循环往复的变化中，我也不例外，情绪会时好时坏。

今天我学会控制情绪。

这是大自然的玩笑，很少有人窥破天机。每天我醒来时，不再有旧日的心情。昨日的快乐变

成今天的哀愁，今天的悲伤又转为明日的喜悦。我心中像一只轮子不停地转着，由乐而悲，

由悲而喜，由喜而忧。这就好比花儿的变化，今天枯败的花儿蕴藏着明天新生的种子，今天

的悲伤也预示着明天的快乐。

今天我学会控制情绪。

我怎样才能控制情绪，以使每天卓有成效呢?除非我心平气和，否则迎来的又将是失败的一

天。花草树木，随着气候的变化而生长，但是我为自己创造天气。我要学会用自己的心灵弥

补气候的不足。如果我为顾客带来风雨、忧郁、黑暗和悲观，那么他们也会报之于风雨、忧

郁、黑暗和悲观，而他们什么也不会买。相反的，如果我们为顾客献上欢乐、喜悦、光明和

笑声，他们也会报之以欢乐、喜悦、光明和笑声，我就能获得销售上的丰收，赚取成仓的金

币。

今天我学会控制情绪。

我怎样才能控制情绪，让每天充满幸福和欢乐?我要学会这个千古秘诀：弱者任思绪控制行

为，强者让行控制思绪。每天醒来当我被悲伤、自怜、失败的情绪包围时，我就这样与之对

抗：

沮丧时，我引吭高歌。

悲伤时，我开怀大笑。

病痛时，我加倍工作。

恐惧时，我勇往直前。

自卑时，我换上新装。

不安时，我提高嗓声。

穷困潦倒时，我想象未来的富有。

力不从心时，我回想过去的成功。

自轻自贱时，我想想自己的目标。

总之，今天我要学会控制自己的情绪。

从今往后，我明白了，只有低能者才会江郎才尽，我并非低能者，我必须不断对抗那限些企

图摧垮我的力量。失望与悲伤一眼就会被识破，而其它许多敌人是不易觉察的。它们往往面

带微笑，却随时可能将我们摧垮。对它们，我们永远不能放松警惕。

自高自大时，我要追寻失败的记忆。

纵情得意时，我要记得挨饿的日子。

洋洋得意时，我要想想竞争的对手。

沾沾自喜时，不要忘了那忍辱的时刻。

自以为是时，看看自己能否让步驻步。

腰缠万贯时，想想那些食不果腹的人。

骄傲自满时，要想到自己怯懦的时候。

不可一世时，让我抬头，仰望群星。

今天我学会控制情绪。

有了这项新本领，我也更能体察别人的情绪变化。我宽容怒气冲冲的人，因为他尚未懂得控

制自己的情绪，就可以忍受他的指责与辱骂，因为我知道明天他会改变，重新变得随和。

我不再只凭一面之交来判断一个人，也不再一时的怨恨与人绝交，今天不肯花一分钱买金蓬

马车的人，明天也许会用全部家当换树苗。知道了这个秘密，我可以获得极大的财富。

今天我学会控制情绪。

我从此领悟人类情绪的变化的奥秘。对于自己千变万化的个性，我不再听之任之，我知道，

只有积极主动地控制情绪，才能掌握自己的命运。

我控制自己的命运就是成为世界上最伟大的推销员!

我成为自己的主人。

我由此而变得伟大。
