Jumia Books The Magic Of Thinking Big By David J. Schwartz White

Refuse to talk about your health.The more you talk about an ailment,even the common cold, the worse it seems to get. Talking about bad health is like putting fertilizer on weeds. Besides, talking about your health is a bad habit. It bores people. It makes one appear self-centered and old-maidish. One may (and let me emphasize the word may) get a little sympathy, but one doesn’t get respect and loyalty by being a chronic complainer.

I have begged hundreds of heart-conscious men to quit getting electrocardiograms made.”
