Basic Lessons For Life
I shared on the following lessons:
A) You can work on both making a living and on a fortune by working part time on your fortune while you’re working full time on your living.
B) Your income is directly related to your philosophy, not to the economy.
C) Don’t search for the exotic until you’ve discovered and mastered the basics
D) Find out how things work— if you wish to be successful, study success. If you want to be happy, study happiness. If you want to be wealthy, study wealth. Don’t leave it to chance. You may not be able to do all that you find , but you should find out all you can do.
* Read—one way to learn is from your own experience. Another way is from people’s experience. One book can change your life. Devote 30 minutes a day to read.
* Listen to people around you—successful and poor, the positive and the negative. Find out what poor people do/read and don’t do/read them. Get around rich people and listen. Poor people ought to take rich people out for dinner and listen.
* Observe— you can pick a lot of ideas just by watching. Success leaves clues. There are two ways to see— sight,seeing with eyes; insight, seeing with your mind. See with your eyes , you’ll see things. See with your mind, you’ll see answers. Pay attention. Don’t miss anything. Where you’re , be there.
E) Go to work —on the things found out. You need a game plan — home game plan, business game plan, social game plan, financial independence game plan. Don’t operate from your mind. Operate on paper. Write your plans down. Formula for success—take heavy action on a good idea.
Don’t let your learning lead to knowledge, you’ll become a fool. Let your learning lead to action, you can become wealthy.
F) Don’t try to beat the system. Find out how it works best and do it that way. It may take a little longer but keep doing it. Be a quick learner.
F) take care of yourself
* physical— take care of yourself. Treat yourself as a temple. That’s the only place you’ve got to live in. Study nutrition. Some people don’t do well because they don’t feel well.
Things to look at:
Appearance: you’ll never have a second chance to make a first impression. GOD looks on the inside, people look on the outside. When people get to know you they’ll judge you more than what they see. But first they’re going to take a look.
* Spiritual—
Humans are more than just an advanced life form. Or an advanced species of the animal kingdom.
My belief is humans are a special creation. If you believe in spirituality in any manner, study it and practice it. Do not neglect your values and virtues.
* Mental side— learn, study, grow, change. That’s why schooling is all about. It takes time for development in all aspects. Feed and nourish the mind.
If you can’t defend your virtues and values you’ll fall prey to philosophies that are not in your best interest.!
