1-To become rich, powerful and famous
2-To treat the universe as if it was a mail order catalogue for our desires and fancies
3-To yearn for the ‟freedom” to do everything that comes into your mind. (This is not freedom, but being the slave of your own thoughts).
4-To constantly seek pleasant sensations, one after the other (Pleasurable sensations soon become dull, and often become unpleasant).
5-To maliciously take revenge on someone who has hurt you. (Doing so, you become as mean as them and you poison your own mind.)
6-‟It I had all that, I will surely be happy,” or ‟If I don’t have that, I can’t be happy.” (Such predictions usually don’t turn out to be true.)
7-To always be praised and never face criticism. (This will never help you to progress.)
8-To vanquish all you enemies. (Animosity never brings happiness.)
9-To never face adversity. (This will make you weak and vulnerable.)
10-To put all your efforts into taking care of just yourself. (Altruistic love and compassion are the roots of genuine happiness.)
