I am not yet here but as I got older I came to the conclusion that most of things really don't matter.  
Watching/Reading the news is useless

Though it may feel like you’re getting something done, you’re not. The reality is, the news doesn’t really affect you. It’s good to keep up with the goings on of the world, but don’t fool yourself into thinking you’re being productive by doing so. You’re not doing anything. Go do your work.

I saw this in a blog without author but I tend to agree. I just think if  affects you a lot. You think you are working and news specially if it's opinion can get into your thought process.

Read History, study facts, hard data and forget the weekly theme. You can't make money on news because they are all incorporated in the prices and there are a lot of negative news that relly enter your mind.

Just turn down your tv and get some silence.

The deepest principle in human nature is the craving to be appreciated.

 Fake compliments are horrible , but if you can congratulate your kids for something well done, make a party it's even better.

The deepest principle in human nature is the craving to be appreciated.

Any fool can criticize, condemn and complain - and most fools do.

Dale Carnegie

Joy, feeling one's own value, being appreciated and loved by others, feeling useful and capable of production are all factors of enormous value for the human soul.
