THOUGHTS ON HOW TO IMPROVE OUR LIVES AND THE WORLD
Man entity consists of three components:
- soul
- mind
- body.
Just neglect one of these and you will see great imbalances in your life.
The mind needs knowledge and study.
The soul needs a solid system of principles.
Lastly, the body is their residence and their vehicle as well.
Render to each of them the significance it deserves without falling prey to exaggerations.
To be more effective in everyday situations handling, do pay the necessary attention to the following points:
1. Dont procrastinate.
Make quick decisions based on the existing information. Just make the first step. Indecisiveness paralyses!
2. Preventing is better than curing: Hippocrates.
Do a nice job from the beginning. Endless corrections will bring confusion and loss of valuable time.
3. Dont wrong yourself by setting low expectations for him.
4. In older times we had to quicken our step. Later, we had to run faster. Now we must learn to make leaps or why not ? to fly!
5. Renounce the roll of the spectator! Dont stand there watching the facts happening! Create the facts!
6. If you cannot influence certain circumstances, dont lose your valuable time dealing with them. Use it wisely and fruitfully for certain attainable objectives!
7. Thinking is the source, action is the river and results are the fruits.
To satisfy your hunger, you will need both of them.
To eat lavishly you will need to find the right proportions, too.
8. When you have a clear objective, you will find the means. Never wrong yourself with cheap excuses.
9. If you set objectives, you know where you are heading to. Otherwise you may end up in a dead end, near a cliff or making circles around yourself.
10. Search for the most effective and convenient way to set priorities. Do not abandon yourself in the lap of the gods.
11. When you are doing a task, be dedicated to it with all your heart. This task must be for you the center of the world for all the time it lasts.
12. Draw lessons from the past, make plans for the future but dont forget that you are living in the present.
13. Become zealots of lifelong learning. Nowadays, knowledge is devalued at a frenetic pace.
14. Perfection is a charming concept but very dangerous as well. While aiming at perfectionism, the others will outmarch you, advancing through their imperfections.
Life is not perfect.
The world is not perfect.
Why should you be?
15. Always try to expand your limits. Every month, every week, every day set a new personal record. Human potential is limitless.
16. Never let past mistakes trammel your future prospects. Learn from them, but leave them in the past where they belong and go ahead.
