15 billionaire tips for those who want to succeed and live a happy life

1. Remember, trust, success and fame to be earned

You will receive from the world that you want, if you imagine yourself in his place. By and large, people who live according to this principle, not only receive money and fame. Earning the trust they earn respect.

Receive recognition, justifying the trust of other people, very nice.

2. Learn to admire the right people

The second idea, until I reached very early: no loveBut one that it is based on admiration for the other person. However, he does not have to be alive. The main thing - to that it inspires you. I remembered this idea all his life, and she was very, very helpful to me.

3. Learn new things. It is a moral duty, as well as the application of knowledge in practice

You need to turn your life into a constant search for new knowledge. Without this you will not become a person who copes well with its responsibilities.

If you're going to move on, so you have to keep learning even after you leave university.

If civilization can progress only by creating new inventions, you can develop, only to acquire new knowledge.

4. Learn to understand around a little

I noticed that the basic idea - is 95% of the important information in any field. It was easy to draw these ideas from all major disciplines and make them part of your thinking process. Of course, not enough to know something, you need to use it.

All my life, I used to practice this approach. I can not tell all that he has given me. But he has made my life more fun, and I - efficient and useful to others. He helped me grow rich.

But this approach has its dangers: the experts in different fields and perhaps your boss will cease to be authorities. You'll know a lot more and find the right solution faster than they are.

But all this will not work if you just memorize information to get perfect on the exam. You have to learn these ideas well enough to operate them in the process of thinking. The only way you will be able to use them in other areas of their lives.

5. Think about the causes of problems, rather than just their consequences

Problems are easier to solve, when you look at them from the other side.

If you want to help India, need to ask ourselves, not on how you can help the country, and that it causes the most damage and how to neutralize it. It may seem that from the point of view of logic is the same, but it is not. Those of you who have studied algebra, know that sometimes a member of the equation migration from one part to another helps to solve the problem.

6. Be reliable. Unreliability can negate your dignity

If you can not be trusted, then all your good qualities, you can immediately send in the trash. Do everything in good faith, do not be lazy.

7. Avoid extremes, do not become a fanatic

Another thing that should be abandoned - is reckless commitment to any ideology. You've probably seen people with limited views. For example, religious leaders, which have opposite viewpoints theology. They are united by one thing: they can not go beyond and think freely.

This also applies to political opinion. When you are young, easy to light up some ideas, believe in them, to declare himself in favor of something. You can further and further drive themselves into the framework of ideology. So you have forgotten how to think for themselves.

Every time when I think about it, I am reminded of canoeists from Scandinavia. They have successfully fused on all thresholds in their respective countries and decided that the same success achieved in the United States, Grand Rapids. All of them died.

Big maelstrom - is not a place where you would like to get there. And I think the same can be said about the truly profound ideology.

8. Get rid of envy, resentment and self-pity

Why should you be jealous, offended, revenge, self-pity? This catastrophic thinking patterns. And they become familiar quite quickly.

I have a friend who carries a stack of cards. When someone tells him the story, performed by self-pity, he pulls out one of them and gives that person. The card read: "Your story touched me. I've never met one person who happened to so many misfortunes, like you. "

You may consider this prank. But I think when you start to feel sorry for yourself, the reason does not matter. Maybe your child is dying of cancer, but the self-pity will not help you to rectify the situation. Just give yourself one of these cards.

When you learn avoid self-pity to yourself, you will get a huge advantage over the rest. Do not shift the blame on circumstances or other people. Learn to take responsibility for their actions.

9. Work with people you admire

Your life will bring you more joy, if you inspire people with whom to work. This will require the talent. I thought to myself, what kind of people at work make me delight, and deftly maneuvered between them. And I never spoke of anyone of them bad. So I've always worked under the supervision of the people who I admire.

10. Learn to be objective, especially when it is most difficult to

Remember Darwin: he has always paid much attention to the undisputed evidence. Regular inspections own objectivity are essential if you want to think correctly. This will help the same relation to the facts, like Darwin, and the habit of conduct checklists. Checking everything on the list, you can avoid many mistakes. And there is no other way that would work just as well.

11. Let me lead the capable people

All would benefit if the majority of cases will be concentrated in the hands of capable people who love and know how to learn. This is a mandatory condition for the development of civilization.

You do not want to choose a neurosurgeon for your child among 50 applicants, of which only half - true pros. You do not want to fly on Flight, Which was designed by unqualified personnel. You will not want to lack of talent working in your company. You may want to power was in the hands of the right people.

12. Remember, you will be successful is what most interested

If a person is really going to succeed in any case, it should cause his genuine interest. I can well understand many things, but I can not be the best in the field, which I am not interested. Therefore, if possible, go in the fact that you are really interested.

13. Sit down and do not yet will bring everything to the end

Two of my friends created a small construction company. All the work they shared equally and guided by one important rule. Here it is: "Every time we do not meet deadlines, we both work 14 hours a day until they do everything to the end." It should be added that the business is not bankrupt and these people have become very rich.

14. Use failure as an opportunity to become better

Life will cause terrible, awful, unfair blows. But it does not matter. Just some people rise, others - no. And I think the position of the ancient Greek philosopher Epictetus - the best in this situation. He believed that every misfortune in life - this is an opportunity to show themselves and to learn something. Your debt - not to sink into self-pity, and to translate blow in a constructive direction.

15. trust people

This last idea, which I want to share with you before you become a lawyer. The procedures and precautions (all what so many in your profession) - it is not the highest form of civilization. The highest form of civilization - is well-deserved confidence in the system. The main thing is that people can fully trust each other, and do not blindly follow the strict rules.

If a crowd of lawyers will lead the process, and each will pull the blanket over himself, the case will be lost. Trust needs to be in your personal life. If your version of the marriage contract 47 pages, I advise you not to marry.
