A PERSONAL IMPROVEMENT GUIDELINE by By Christian D. Larson (1874)

"No matter how dark the cloud, look for the silver lining; it is there, and
when you always look at the bright side of things you develop brightness in
yourself.


This brightness will strengthen all your faculties so that you can
easily overcome what obstacles may be in your way, and thus gain the
victory desired.


Direct your attention constantly to the bright side of things;
refuse absolutely to consider any other side. At first this may not be possible
in the absolute sense, but perseverance never fails to win.


However, do not try hard; gently direct your attention to the bright side and know that you can.
Ere long it will be second nature for you to live on the sunny side. The value
of this attainment is very great; first, because joyousness will increase life,
power, energy and force; this we all know from personal experience, and we
wish to have all the life and power that we can possibly secure; second,
because the happiest soul never worries, which is great gain.

Worry has crippled thousands of fine minds and brought millions to an early grave. We
simply cannot afford to worry and must never do so under any condition
whatever." !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thnx :D for that.
One more thing i dont seem to understand is charismatic and bureaucratic forms of power, so if u could shed some light on that

Charismatic authority: Max Weber's term for power made legitimate by a leader's exceptional personal or emotional appeal to his or her followers.

Bureaucratic form : Bureaucracy is a component of formal organization in which rules and hierarchical ranking are used to achieve efficiency.a system for controlling or managing a country, company or organization that is operated by a large number of officials who are employed to follow rules carefully:

Hi people, I am planning to give sociology in OCT/NOV. I read the syllabus which says that there are only 3 grades: A,C and F. Does that mean you cannot get an A* or B???

no absolutely not , its only to differentiate b/w the standard of grading therefore A* and B falls somewhere between the grading !!1
