6 Things To Realize Once You Are Mature

1. It’s better to keep silent. In some situations when you explain to people more, it doesn’t help. The more you explain, the more they will suspect you. Nowadays, people don’t like to get more explanation, it’s better to stay quiet when you know the other is not ready to understand.
2. Social media is useless unless you use it to make money or make a living. When you are a child you don’t know the value of time and waste lots of your time on social media, but when you realize the value of the time you stop wasting your precious time on social media. Stop or limit using those apps before you realize the fact.
3. Friends are not important. Friends are good to have but don’t give that much because you make friends at each stage of your life, your that stage will complete, you’ll move on and they too. But don’t get upset if you all move on, just remember the memories you had with them and smile that it did happen.
4. It’s OK to be misunderstood. It’s OK if people don’t understand you, you owe no explanation to anyone. It’s is common to be misunderstood, you are not here to make everyone understand you, but to understand yourself.
5. It’s OK to make mistakes. No one is perfect in this world and mistakes don’t mean you are failures. Mistakes tell you to do better next time. Life doesn’t come with instructions so it’s fine if you have made mistake. It’s OK to have a bad day, be less than perfect. You will be still you. These are some of the things you realized when you got mature or by your life experience.
6. Crying doesn’t make you weak. Crying is the symbol of inner strength, it is the only thing that is heavy yet makes you feel lighter. It doesn’t have to be considered as a weakness. Things you realize when you got mature is Crying itself is a form of strength. A strong person cries, then get up and fight again.

3. Harness Awareness — meditate daily for at least 10-mins a day. Separate yourself from your mind and body.

12 Ideas To Develop Social Skills And Abilities

 

1. Don’t play all your cards, even when your opponent appears to be winning. Only play your cards when you’re sure your opponent doesn’t have anything up their sleeve.
2. Learn to read body language. Most of the time, people say one thing, but they’re usually thinking about something different. You can’t know what’s in people’s minds by observing their faces. However, you can interpret people’s minds by reading their body language and their eyes.
3. When someone asks you a question, don’t be in a hurry to answer or be too generous with your answer. Don’t play hero by volunteering information you were not asked.
4. Develop a habit of remembering people’s first names— including the clerk, the janitor, security guy, caretaker or the policeman. A person’s name is very close to a person, and the sweetest language everyone wants to hear more than any other language. Next time you meet, call them by their first names, and soon enough you will have a following and a group of friends who can do anything you ask.
5. Learn to communicate effectively and politely. Thoroughly develop your communication skills. Everything in life revolves around it, and it will take you far. You will soon realize that people are more interested in the person who knows how to communicate than the person who has a university degree.
6. If you are invited for a white-collar job interview in a company where everybody wears jeans and overalls, including the boss, don’t be foolish and wear a suit and a tie—wear a pair of jeans or overalls, and remember, in that company, the boss doesn’t like people wearing suits and ties—they think people who wear suits and ties are not ready for work.
7. People will always expect you to reciprocate their generosity or favors. Don’t be too foolish and deny them what they think is their right. Do the wise thing—return the favor, and they’ll think you’re normal. Take care, though, that you don’t give them your leg or your arm.
8. Tell people what they expect to hear. Don’t be too radical, and don’t go against the grain—even if people look dumb. You can make more friends in three months by conforming to people’s expectations than by trying to get people to like you in three years.
9. When talking, don’t try to compete with people. There’s nothing to be gained by outdoing others in talking or outsmarting others. In fact, the less you speak, the less people know about you, and the more they respect you.
10. The Japanese have a saying: “A clever eagle hides its claws”. When feeling strong, don’t show it to people. When you’re weak don’t even say anything. There’s much strength in silence, and there’s much power in staying humble.
11. A simple greeting costs nothing, yet it can build massive bridges between you and your perceived enemies and friends alike. IT can win you favors, get you into places you’re not allowed to get into, and get you out many undesired situations.
12. When you help other people or participate in charity, don’t blow the trumpet. Let others do it for you, for there’s nothing to be gained by praising yourself and everything to lose by bringing shame and dishonor upon yourself.

5 Effective Habits Used To Increase Productivity And Make You Live More Happily

Habit 1: Sleep 8–9 Hours a Night

If you’ve been following me for any amount of time, then you’ve heard this one before.

I’ve said it once and I’ll say it a thousand times… You NEED to prioritize your sleep.

I know plenty of people who think that they will “Get” an extra 2–3 hours out of their day by sleeping on 6 hours and waking up early.

According to all of the science, they are wrong. Sleep deprivation (6 hours or less for most people) slows your cognitive process WITHOUT you even realizing it. It’s a form of self torture.

This means that even though you might not “think” that you are sleep deprived subjectively, when you measure key performance metrics against well rested subjects, the data tells a different story.

If you aren’t sleeping 8 hours a night you are doing something wrong.

Forget the 5 a.m. miracle.

Get your 8 hours and you’ll perform better, feel better, and do better than you would getting 6 hours but waking up early.

Habit 2: Drink One Green Smoothie Every Morning

I thought green smoothies would be a fad.

They weren’t.

I started drinking 1–2 smoothies a day and it radically improved my mood and energy levels almost overnight.

You don’t have to complicate things here.

Just a handful of organic spinach and kale, a 1/2 banana, cucumber slices, 1 celery stick, carrots, frozen strawberries and some water is all that you need to reap the many benefits of getting more veggies.

Habit 3: Take a 60 Minute Walk, Jog or Bike Ride in the Middle of the Day

One of the most common misconceptions about productivity is that getting things done requires you to work more hours.

In reality, it requires you to work smarter.

Few people realize that mental energy is a finite resource.

Scientifically speaking, you cannot sustain optimal levels of cognitive performance for more than 6–7 hours a day without the aid of narcotics or prescription meds.

You need to take breaks to restore your mental energy and inject some life into your work day.

I found that by taking a 90 minute walk or bike ride around 2 p.m. everyday (my least productive time of day), I’m able to overcome the afternoon slump and stay productive much longer than I can when I try to power through without rest.

Habit 4: Read for 60 Minutes, Take Action for 180 Minutes

You’ve all heard the saying that “Knowledge is power”

This is not true.

Knowledge is useless unless it’s applied.

Unless you take action.

Over the past few years, I’ve read hundreds of books on a wide variety of different topics.

And it didn’t change a damn thing in my life until I realized that knowledge without action is futile.

I made the commitment to educate myself in a 1:3 ration.

For every hour that I spent reading about performance, goal setting, personal development etc. I had to spend at least 3 hours taking some form of action towards living the life that I wanted to live.

If you implement this into your daily routine, it will change your life.

Habit 5: Quit Complaining

Complaining makes you dumb. Literally. It has been shown to decrease the size of your brain, negatively impact cognitive processes, and increase depression, anxiety, and chronic pain.

A few years ago I made a commitment to give up complaining for good.

It hasn’t been easy and I still catch myself whining about silly crap from time to time, but being conscious of how amazing my life is and focusing on the good has changed how I live forever.

I’ve learned that I am always in control. It’s always up to me to determine how I will react to something or how I should respond to adversity.

Quit complaining and reclaim your personal power.

12 Very Important Lessons To Learn Early In Life

2. Friends: Quality over quantity. Give me 2–3 solid friends, and leave the rest as acquaintances.

4. Self Awareness: Without it, you may spend a life time of blaming others for your misfortunes and problems.
5. Control: No matter how badly you think what is best for others, you can only control yourself.
6. Advice: Keep that shit to yourself, unless asked for it. And even then, tread lightly.

8. Convenience: Never treat someone such as. And if you find yourself being treated as such, remove that person from your life. Know your worth.

10. Betrayal: It will never come from an enemy. Think about that.

12. Love: If you are one of the few that find it. Make sure the person knows it. Don’t do anything to make that person question their self worth.

4 Rules Of Success To Note In Life

 

What have you learned from working with successful people? 

Successful people have no secrets. They have discipline. They act with rationality. They are not moved by impulsive emotions.

Example:

1. Successful people don’t believe in luck. They believe in hard work. My grandfather used to say, “Work hard and you will be lucky.”
2. My father always reminds me, “ Son, never forget that the tortoise wins the race!” Successful people don’t gamble. They play it safe, slow, and steady.
3. My self-made millionaire friend who is also a VC, loves to challenge young entrepreneurs with a very simple question, “Are you creating memories or a business?” He uses this question to distinguish between those who are having fun spending investors’ money and those who have the discipline to make money.
4. What everyone of them have in common is a stubborn perseverance — they will simply never quit. They fail and get up again and again and again until they win. #NeverGiveUp

26 Secret Tips To Having Better Confidence

1. Drink a glass of cold water every morning when you wake up. Think of that glass of water as new life just added into your body. The water will create a balance in your body between your brain and the rest of the body.
2. Breathe in deeply and hold your breath for a few seconds. Then release your breath slowly—not at once, holding it after every few seconds. Repeat three or four times.
3. Look in the mirror and tell the person you see in the mirror, “You’re beautiful and wonderfully made. You were created to defeat every adversity, whether internal or external, with finality.”
4. Meditate for about 10 to 20 minutes and flush out every negative thought. Banish every negative thought and determine it should never invade your thoughts again. Replace every negative thought with 5 positive ones and write them down and cram them.
5. Perform some basic physical exercises like push-ups, sit-ups, pull-ups, squats, jogging, etc. Increase these gradually until your body begins to complain, then move on to the next level. Make it a daily routine.
6. Studies have shown that people are actually stronger than they think or feel. Look in the mirror once again and make a good laugh, even if there’s nothing funny to laugh about.
7. Don’t eat your breakfast in a hurry to avoid upsetting the system, but eat a good breakfast rich with energy foods like cereals, eggs, milk and fruits, but don’t fill your stomach.

11. Never mind what other people think bout you, or how you dress, or the color or style of your shoes, but concentrate more about yourself and your own thoughts.
12. When someone asks you a question, don’t answer immediately. Give yourself time to think about the question before you answer. The brain will gain more confidence to process information before answering questions. Don’t answer questions you’re unsure of.
13. Look people in the eye for a few seconds but not long enough to embarrass them. Making eye contact is key to self-confidence, but don’t overdo it.
14. Smile even when other people are serious. And look serious when other people are smiling. They’ll get confused and think you’re different.

17. Don’t be afraid to speak. If you’re an introvert, practice extroversion, until your self-confidence grows.

10 Laws Of Being A Man

Love yourself and go for what you want. Exercise self-confidence, self-respect, and don’t live to please other people.
