The two primary guides in my life have been Winnie The Pooh and baseball. Not being flippant. For those who question Pooh, I suggest reading the Tao of Pooh or the Te of Piglet about the Taoist underpinnings of the book, which is not really surprising given (1) the author was a noted pacifist and (2) the two Pooh books were carefully crafted to appeal to both children and adults at two levels. There are a host of other books that examine Pooh as a philosopher, business management advisor, etc., but the Tao & Te are the best imho.
As for baseball, you only need to listen to the lexicon ingrained in the sport: "stay within yourself", "it's a marathon not a sprint", "it's about learning how to deal with failure because a 300 hitter is failing 70% of the time", ad infinitum.
