Lessons I have learned in life with comments: 1. Take only special people to your special places. Each person you take to your special place will become emotionally a part of that place for you. So choose carefully, otherwise you woun`t be getting peace or clarity you are seeking for there. Because you`ll remember that certain him/her every time you`ll be there. 2. People deserve one chance, not more. Because people doesn`t change silly :) They can hide their negative sides and emphasize their strengths for a while though. If any relationship has ended, then eventually it will end again because of same reason. Show your true self reasonably and you will not waste your and others time … unless you suck of course :D 3. Appreciate what you have today, you may not have it tomorrow. Count your blessings, otherwise you`ll never feel full. It has been said a lot, but rarely followed. It really is a key to happiness :) 4. Talking is overrated. Unfortunately so is explaining. Talking makes sense only if you are listened by someone, who want`s to understand. Be silent if you don`t have anything smart to say. This way you don`t say something stupid and appear smarter. 5. Being indiscriminately sincere isn`t a virtue. Nobody wants to hear shit if you weren`t asked. Remember, that truth can be spoken many ways. There is a way to tell the truth and not to hurt others feelings. Lie if you have to. Otherwise you will leave a trail with angry people and broken hearts behind you. 6. Don`t jump to conclusions. I know you are on a hurry … but listen, ask questions and try to understand. Don`t overestimate your deductive skills, you are not that good. Listen to your gut though... 7. Comparing yourself with others is waste of time, so is worrying. You`ll always find someone more cute, more funny, with more money … that`s why. And worrying isn`t an action, it`s just a waste of your time and nerves. And time is valuable, it can`t be bought … same is with your nerves. You don` t need others praise to feel well. Others don`t determine who you are, you do. 8. Understand the risk you are taking. Risk to reward ratio has to be on your side, preferably in the skies :) Many bad things, like STD and global meltdown, happen because of not understanding the risk taken. 9. To really live take challenges. Living in safe zone is plain boring and you`ll not grow being there. Sure, challenges you take have to be carefully chosen and they may be intimidating … but that`s why they are called challenges ;) 10. If you`ll get hurt, don`t close your hart to new opportunities. If you don`t want to spend your life alone, hurt and bitter of course. Getting hurt in relationships (including from friendships) is a part of a circle of life, if you get hurt, learn from bad and remember the good, but closing your hart is never a lesson from shitty relationships that has to be learned. Don`t carry past with you and don`t let the past dictate your future. Learn to forgive and how to let go. 11. Professionally it matters more how you get along with others, than how smart you are. People like likeable people. People like people who share same views, visit same places and eat same food. If you are same, then treating you bad will be treating themselves bad, treating you well, will be treating themselves well :) And we always need companions, because many of us see workplace as a battlefield. Learn to respect others opinions, discussions are great for repairing your views. 12. Smarter person always wins the fight. Yeah, because you will be outfoxed :p 13. Threatening your opponent is same as playing poker with an open hand. Why to tell what your next move will be? Threatening isn`t the same as intimidation, because intimidation, which sometimes can help you if the fight can be avoided, is showing yourself bigger and stronger than you really are. If it can`t be avoided, then it helps to look weaker. People do dumb mistakes if they think, that they have already won. 14. Do things your own way. It doesn`t mean that you have to invent a bicycle in order to learn how to ride. Learn from others by listening what they have to say, but don`t blindly follow others. Think independently. Only you know what you need and what is good for you. Only you accept what you need and is in any situation suitable for you. And please keep in mind, that failure is a part of life. 15. You should come always first. That doesn`t mean that others aren`t important, also you don`t have to be a narcissist, just love and respect yourself enough to be your biggest fan. Because if you aren`t, then others woun`t be either. Nobody likes martyrs...remember that. You can`t be free, if you try to own somebody. Let people do, what they want, only then you are in control of your life. Accepting, that you can`t control everything, is really being in control ;) 16. Treat people well even if they treat you poor. Have good manners. There will be always assholes in your life, don`t let them impact your life. Get back at them only if you really have to.
