Six Mistakes of Man

• The illusion that personal gain is made up of crushing others
• The tendency to worry about things that cannot be changed or corrected
• Insisting that a thing is not possible because we cannot accomplish it
• Refusing to set aside trivial preferences
• Neglecting development and refinement of the mind and not acquiring the habit of reading and study
• Attempting to compel others to believe and live as we do.
