10 Wise Things To Know About Life

1. Life is like a blank cheque already signed with your name written on it. The only thing you have to do is fill in the number you want.  Problem is that most people write a negative number and then blame others for their miseries. Only 1% of people have some idea what number to write on the blank.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       
2. Even if you wore the same clothes every day for 30 days nobody will notice that you wore the same clothes yesterday. People are so engrossed in their own personal thoughts and problems that they have no time to waste checking what kind of clothes you’re wearing each day.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              
3. The greatest life hack is the elusive feeling of happiness. If you can teach your brain to laugh even when you don’t feel like, your brain can’t tell the difference whether you’re happy or sad. You can then enjoy perpetual happiness any time you want it 24/7.                                                                                                                                                                                         
4. Of all the skills in the world, the greatest skill is the ability to say “NO”.                                                                                                                                                                                                         
5. All the wealth in the world is yours for the taking provided that you give people what they want. Then and only then will they feel compelled to give you what you want.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           
6. The problem with most people is that they will always copy what others are doing. People will always doubt their abilities even if you tell them they’re good at something. They lack the self-confidence to do something that has never been done, only to realize quite late that they had a better idea than everybody else.                                                                                                                      
7. The greatest problem in life is not the lack of money. The problem is that most people want the money for all the wrong reasons, and don’t know what to do with it once they get it. This is what repulses money away from most people.                                                                                                                                                           
8. Lack of contentment is the root of all evil and miseries. From it emanates all kinds of jealousies, hate, greed and murders. On the other hand, contentment is the root of all happiness.                                                                                                                                                                                                                       
9. Love everyone for who they are for that’s a universal law. However, don’t choose the person you’re going to spend the rest of your life with blindly, or simply because you’ve fallen in love with them “head-over-heels”. Sometimes it’s possible that other people have also fallen in love with them “head-over-heels” before you.                                                                                                                                        
10. Never argue just for the sake of argument, unless you’re sure your opinion could save lives. Otherwise agree with your opponent and move on to save time and money. They’ll think that they’ve won the battle only to realize later that they were fools.
