Thirty-one life lesson for the thirty-first birthday

I suggest you look this list and think about your own. By the way, it would be a good tradition - every year on his birthday to sit down and think about all the things that you have gone through and have understood. Think about your life and review the prospects and priorities. Why do millions of people are doing it in the New Year, but in its really true "New Year" before the hands do not reach?

Read, think and rethink, because life - the best and strict teacher, and every new year gives a new vision and understanding of the same problem.

1. Life - is not only money

While every penny may be important to you in your work or your business, in life it is, nevertheless, not the most important.

I do not want to say that the money - it does not matter. But the people (and the relationship) is much more important than any money.

2. It is very important to take any action

Success does not come to those who are just waiting. Success comes to those who take action in this direction. The complaints and concerns have absolutely no meaning without action.

3. Relationship building - a long process

As I said, people and communication mean a lot. And this applies to both personal and business areas of your life.

For me, my communication - these are my assets. And I like to communicate with new people every day.

4. Everyone has their own definition of success

Success - the concept is very relative. For someone successful - is to get a certain number of customers in the past month on a regular basis. And for someone to success - it is the recognition of society.

Therefore, it is practically impossible to compare your success or failure with someone else.

5. Hard work always pays off

Hard work always pays off. There is nothing that requires compensation is hard work.

6. A work head pays off faster

But not necessarily to work hard. It is important to learn how to work his head. And this work also pays off, only much faster than just hard work.

7. Time management does not exist. But the task management - yes

Time - a commodity, which is given equal amounts of each. Everyone, rich and poor, young or old, able-bodied and disabled every day receives an equal amount of time.

We use them or not, but every day we have 24 hours - no more and no less. And we can not transfer unused time on the following day. And we can not borrow a minute or two for tomorrow.

It turns out that we can not manage your time. But we can manage your tasks so that we use this time as efficiently as possible.

8. Organization - is a skill

Without organization you can go crazy on the number of jobs that are simultaneously dumped on one person.

9. Books - this is fine

Try to regularly read and to buy new books. And no matter how many blogs you drive and how much reading magazines, books always teach you something else, that which you would have never heard of blogs and magazines.

And not necessarily to choose books that are directly related to the scope of your work. On the contrary, sometimes it's better to buy books that absolutely does not concern your activities to expand their horizons. This will refresh your mind and increase your creativity.

10. Watch TV - it's a waste of time

Simple viewing live TV - it's a waste of time and I'm not talking about TV addiction.

11. Health - is the wealth

Do not forget to take care of your body. Now you can be healthy and full of energy, but this does not mean that you can ineptly squander their wealth and spoil the health of lack of sleep, poor diet and other harmful habits.

And do not sit in one place for a whole day - dilute your work schedule physical activity.

12. Do not try to please everyone

Do not waste your precious time trying to please everyone. It is simply impossible. If you like you all, you mean - no one.

13. Always learn from mistakes

If you make a mistake in something - this is not the end of the world! Everyone makes mistakes - it's completely natural. In this case, the most important thing - to analyze the situation and make the right conclusions. Find what caused the error, and improve their strategy next time.

14. Do not stop at one's success

If you at least once to feel the taste of victory, do not stop there. Of course, it is necessary to celebrate it, but do not forget that in front of you a few more projects that can be no less successful.

It's time to raise the bar and continue to work.

15. Go beyond your comfort zone

It's really a challenge. Many things still remain only plans because people difficult to go beyond your comfort zone.

But after the first step, you gradually get used to the new boundaries and be able to move on.

16. Excuses will not lead you anywhere

Find a justification - simple. Everyone can find an excuse for anything. But the problem is that all this will lead you nowhere. You will remain standing in one place.

17. There is nothing wrong to admit that you do not know something or are not an expert

Many people believe that the recognition of the fact that you do not know anything - it's bad or ashamed. But in fact, you have to tell the truth (that you do not understand it or are not an expert) immediately. In the future, it will save you from fraud and unwanted stigma that may follow a bit later, after you have not coped with the task due to lack of knowledge.

18. help others

Of course, this does not mean that you have become a hot line for those who are suffering and help people 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. But if you can, you should help.

And you realize that helping others - it's great. And you can really build a strong and lasting relationship.

19. Time - is the most precious gift. Do not waste it in vain

Time - is the most precious gift. This is something that can not be bought for any money, bring back or exchange. So do not waste it in vain.

20. Be thankful

Do not complain that you have something there. A lot of people can not be a small fraction of what you have.

Moreover, some people do not even have the basic things necessary for survival, so stop whining!

21. Learn to be content with what you already have

You constantly compare yourself with others? With your friends, colleagues or relatives that you richer? And try to compare yourself to someone who is poorer than you.

And before your hands are reaching for new gadgets or belongings, think about how much you really need it? Spend money wisely only on those things that you really need, not because the grass is greener and more white fence.

22. Procrastination - the biggest excuse of all time

And it's true - tested on their own experience! Who has not, let him promptly share their recipes!

23. Multitasking takes up too much energy

I used to be with both hands "for" multi-tasking. It seemed to me that in this way I save time by working simultaneously on multiple tasks, and not pore over something one.

But later I realized that multitasking takes me too much energy. Every time I had to switch between tasks, in my mind there is something like a short circuit, I had to fall back into jobs back slightly in order to refresh your memory and remember where I He stopped.

24. At the same time, multi-tasking - it is a habit that is hard to refuse

Yes, it took me a lot of time and effort on something to overcome his habit of doing several things at the same time.

25. Stay focused - it is the most complex and, at the same time, the most important thing

... in our modern world. Thanks to technical progress, all sorts of gadgets and social networks we ignore almost always - at any time and in any place. Therefore, it is difficult to stay focused and work only on one task.

26. Getting rid of temper makes you more productive

I was (and still remain on) a victim of his temper. And every time I hold myself, I work more productively. In those days when I did not splash out and restrain their emotions out, I destroy almost the entire day.

27. Let go of the past and the future of work

You can not change what has already passed, and you can not manage it. What happened, happened and there's nothing you can do about it. All that remains today is for you - it is to work hard to make your future better than it was.

28. Learn to tune into the positive

Internal positive attitude - this is something that grows within us and then goes outside, surrounding us positive.

And despite the fact that sometimes external factors are indeed the impetus that changes our attitude to life more positively, you should start, though, with himself and his inner attitude.

29. Never let negative emotions overwhelm you

Make sure that your consciousness and mind are resistant to negative emotions. There are so many people who just do what they say nasty things and spoil the mood of others, and if you allow these emotions to get in your head, you allow them to control themselves!

30. Life - is a school and you learn every moment

And every time, when you realize that discovered the new face that would seem to already know to perfection, you remember the saying: "You live - and learn."

31. Think about what you're doing. Change someone's life

Even when you make money, not necessarily to think only about themselves and their profit. In any action you have the opportunity to change not only their own, but even someone's life for the better. The fact that you are doing something does not mean it for the money, it has to be something selfish.

And you have such a list? It would be interesting to know more about this :)
