No matter how many degrees we have or what kind of education we received, there are some things that only life can teach us. So I this story I’m going to share with you what life has thought me so far.

Appreciate your journey

It’s easy to get worrying about the future or regretting the past. Instead of doing that focus on “Today”. How we are going to spend today will decide how we spend in the future. So stay focus, do your level best.

Everything that has happened in the past has led you to become who you are today. These experiences are so valuable some of them make you happy and others may hurt you. But somehow they have shaped you to become the person you are today. Embrace it and use your learning’s to become the best possible version of yourself..

Find your path

Don’t mind other people’s aspirations, don’t ever let someone else’s goals and dreams influence your vision of life. It’s your path and you decide where it takes you and how long it takes you to see it through. Be the creator of your destiny

Never give up

Even when we’re feeling most prepared there is a chance we fail in accomplishing our goal. An athlete could lead the entire race only to fall just in front of the finish line and lose. This doesn’t mean the athlete should stop competing; on the contrary, he would work even harder for the next competition. The results will come, eventually.

Don’t hesitate, take action

Sometimes we fail to take action or decision due to lack of confidence or courage. Think if you are a caption of a ship can you hesitate when storm coming? You have to decide and take action immediately. Your decision may right or wrong but you have to take a one based on the best possible data on your hand. And also you have to accept the outcome. Whenever you feel it’s time to act, take action. No matter the outcome, you will end up smarter than before.

Learn, Test and practice

You have to learn about some topics to gain good knowledge. Find something you passionate about. If you do that you will love to learn. Gaining knowledge will help you to understand the process but you have to practice it. Then you will realize the actual problems and how to use your knowledge to overcome it. As an example we could read and learn about painting, learn all the techniques and brush types etc. but only when we get in front of a canvas and start painting we put our knowledge to the test. So don’t afraid to test your knowledge it will help you to gain real knowledge.

Step out of your comfort zone

It means doing things that you don’t feel comfortable with doing. Getting outside of your comfort levels. If you want to improve or grow you have to step out your comfort zone, you have to try new things.

Invest in your health

No matter how much success, money, or fame you have, it’s all useless without your health. Invest in your health. It’s your #1 priority.

Don’t Believe in Luck. Believe in Hard work

If you want to have a good life with a successful career, emotional satisfaction, and trustworthy friends you have to work hard. Don’t believe in luck. The people who have succeeded in their life or career have to do a lot of hard work and effort.

Don’t be too late

Life is moving so fast and your time is limited don’t be too late for the things you wanted to do as a young person. Live your life to its full extent because life is short and we never know what tomorrow brings.

Don’t be afraid to be alone

You were born alone & will die alone so why to be afraid of being alone. If no one is in your side don’t afraid. Sometimes people fear new things or getting out their comfort zone but remember those who do it create something new to the world. When the next time you are trying to do new thing remember this.

Don’t wait for the perfect time

There is no time called perfect time. Are You wait for the perfect timing, for an opportunity? Get out there, challenge yourself, do something that you want to do even if you are afraid.

Don’t rely on others

Never expect anything from others, not even your partner, friend or boss. They are all busy with their own needs. No one will make you happy or achieve your goals for you. It’s all on you.

Plan Your Future

You should have a plan otherwise you don’t know where to go and what to do. Your focus may change from time to time. To avoid that you must have a plan. First identify your passion, vision and mission then you can build a plan with goals.

Be humble, polite & respect others

Try to be humble and respect others. Listen to their point of view and opinions take the good things and avoid the rest but listen to them carefully and respect to their point of view. It has the power to change people hearts.

Make a commitment

How committed are you to your goal? Is it important is for you? If yes, what are you willing to sacrifice to achieve it? If you find yourself fully committed everything will change for the better.
