Socrates, amongst the creators of European viewpoint, was once known as the brightest man on this planet by the Oracle of Delphi. When Socrates observed that the oracle had created such a opinion, he thought the declaration was incorrect.
Socrates said: "I know one thing: that I know nothing."
How can the best man on this planet know nothing? I observed this peculiar knowledge for initially from my university instructor when I was 14 or 15. It created such an effect on me that I used Socrates's quotation as my studying technique.
To me, "I know nothing" signifies that you might be a sensible person, but still, you know nothing. You can still understand from everything and everyone. One factor that I like better than gaining knowledge from my errors is gaining knowledge from other individuals errors. Over the years, I've been endowed to have great guides, instructors, members of the family, and buddies that educated me in about life.
What you will find below is a record of the most considerations I discovered from other individuals and guides. Some of the training took me a very long a chance to learn—but if I had had to understand these matters all by myself, it would have taken me a lot more time.
We might understand factors easily, but we often ignore them at the same rate—and sometimes we need to emphasize ourselves of what we've discovered. Here are 25 of those pointers that others educated me in.
Never say, "I can't take it anymore." Instead say, "bring it on!"
Complaining is the biggest waste of time there is. Either do something about it, or if you can't, shut up about it.
That's your family and best friends. If you don't have a family, create one. Most people in life are only visitors. Family is for life.
I've done this more than once. You kind of like someone and think, "We might as well give it a shot." Not a good idea. You're either in love or you are not. Don't fool yourself. It's not fair to you or the other person.
I didn't get this until recently. A healthy body is where you have to start everything in life. If you can't build a healthy and strong body, what can you build in life?
No, keeping a journal is not for children. It helps you to become a better thinker and writer. "I don't want to be a writer," you might think. Well, how many emails and texts do you send a day? Everybody is a writer.
Say "thank you" to everyone and everything. "Thank you for this beautiful day." "Thank you for your email." "Thank you for being there for me."
We all die in the end—do you really think it matters what people think of you?
Don't be such a wimp.
If you want to become good at something, you need to spend years and years doing that. You can't do that if you hop from industry to industry. Pick an industry you love and start at the bottom. You will find the perfect role for you eventually.
When you find yourself in a situation where everyone looks at each other, it's time for you to lead. You're a leader when you decide to become one. There's no initiation or a title. Just a decision.
It really isn't. But you have to train yourself not to care about money. Don't become too dependent on the stuff you own; otherwise, the stuff will own you.
I don't mean you should be a pushover. You can be someone that doesn't take sh*t and be nice about it. Just don't insult people, think you're better than them, or act like an idiot.
You've got to train your brain to stay alert. You don't have to read a book a day to learn every day. Learn from your mistakes. Learn from the people around you—be open to what they can teach you.
Even if you love your job and every day seems like a holiday, you need to take time to rest. You're a human, not an android. Never forget that.
Just because people make different choices than you doesn't mean they're stupid. Also, you don't know everything about people, so don't judge them—help them.
Just be mindful, that's all. We all have families, bills to pay, and our own issues. Don't always make everything about yourself.
Don't keep score. You will become a bitter person if you do that. Give solely for the joy of giving. If you get something in return, great. If you don't, great.
We, as a species, just are. Don't try to figure it all out. Enjoy your journey.
I like clichés because they are true. Especially this one. You know why? Everyone says they know it, but no one lives up to it. They just chase big things.

I didn't get this until recently. A healthy body is where you have to start everything in life. If you can't build a healthy and strong body, what can you build in life?

No, keeping a journal is not for children. It helps you to become a better thinker and writer. "I don't want to be a writer," you might think. Well, how many emails and texts do you send a day? Everybody is a writer.

Don't be such a wimp.
10. Pick an industry, not a job.

11. Lead the way.
When you find yourself in a situation where everyone looks at each other, it's time for you to lead. You're a leader when you decide to become one. There's no initiation or a title. Just a decision.

It really isn't. But you have to train yourself not to care about money. Don't become too dependent on the stuff you own; otherwise, the stuff will own you.

17. Think about others.
Just be mindful, that's all. We all have families, bills to pay, and our own issues. Don't always make everything about yourself.
18. Give without expecting something in return.
Don't keep score. You will become a bitter person if you do that. Give solely for the joy of giving. If you get something in return, great. If you don't, great.

We, as a species, just are. Don't try to figure it all out. Enjoy your journey.
20. Enjoy small things.
I like clichés because they are true. Especially this one. You know why? Everyone says they know it, but no one lives up to it. They just chase big things.
