  • Search for new friends instead of wasting time fighting with old enemies. Look up for people who like you and want to get closer, try to build relationships with such people. Don’t spent your precious time for trying to persuade or change people who don’t like you and who are not willing to change in better way.
  • Don’t be greedy for a knowledge. Knowledge is not the most important thing you need. Hour of a good sleep or walk in the park or being out in the nature or with your friends adds much more value then hour of reading. The thing you could learn today but postponed for tomorrow you can already treat as learned.
  • Don’t live and act and think in terms of Present or Now. Do routine things Now but think and strive for Future. Future determines what you should do now, not vise versa.
  • If you feel inspiration and desire to share something with others just fix it on the paper and revise next day. Today inspiration will be tomorrow wisdom.
  • Contemplate people: good people tend to change from “egocentric” lifestyle when they always aim to show how good they are to other ways where “how nice and noisy you are” is not so important for you anymore.

You are so damn right about “think about future” item.

Some time ago I made a “trickle list” to check how often I do really important things beside the routine ones and found out that some of the really important things (like “family”) get too little attention and time… while others “tobedoneasap” eat the whole day…

Hopefully I’ll learn how to spend my time differently…

Hi Chris :)
Nice to see your here.
Actually there is a very good measurement of how “interesting” my day was. I just count in how many places except for my home and office I’ve been and how many people I’ve been talking with. Or it can be in home but you should always have some guests. And I’m trying to always maximize this indicator.
So I hope I’m learning as well :p
