10 Important Useful life Lessons

 No matter how old we are, we need to have some ideas to move forward in life. These lessons in life can make or break our life. We search for lessons from others. Fortunately, in this age of Internet, Google can give you a lot of life lessons but the problem is that we have lost habit of reading a long article.   

1. Health is really important: You see I used to be physically super active until the age of 25 but after finishing university education, I became lazy and became obsessed with anything related to sitting on a chair. I regret it a lot as I could not utilize my full potential in life and career. If I could go back in time, then I would never neglect my health even for a single day.

2. Money Talks: While money may not be the solution for all of your problems but if you have enough money then you can deal with most challenges with ease. So, do not neglect your work. I know that creative people often lose their track and suffer mental burnout or reach to a dead end. It happens when you try too much to do something but you fail or you cannot move forward.

3. Relationships are valuable: Many people are unhappy despite having a happy marriage life or a supporting family. They often seek fame and fortune at the cost of family life. It happens to many people and they later regret. It is a kind of trade off you should avoid if you want to be happy.

4. Life is not easy: Life is full of ups and downs. You cannot always have smooth days. The challenges in life should be embraced with peace and happiness because after it you will have a better phase. If you study seriously and regularly then you will get good grades. If you are hardworking and attentive in your job then you will get promotion and earn more money.

5. Reading can be your biggest wealth: Many people stop reading from the day they finish their university education. This is a suicidal thing as it can only bring misery in your job and life. You will notice that you are finding it difficult to adjust with new ideas, new technology and young people. You may get stuck in your 20s forever. Try to read even if it is for just 10-15 minutes a day. Even this can help you more than you can imagine.

6. Try to accept reality: You are not a popular person at college or in your office. No problem. Most people are like you. Only 10% people may get popular and famous but for the rest 90% life is normal but that should not make you depressed.

7. You can bounce back at any age: Many of us give up at the age of 30 if they do not have a good career and good income. They fail to look at the fact that you will retire at the age of 60. So, you have 30 full years ahead of you to try. So, do not give up. Really, you should not give up and keep on trying.

8. Life can change: We have some aim in life from childhood. May be you wanted to be a doctor but you have become a graphics designer. Many of us put too much emotion on our goals and get heart broken when we fail. It is ok to fail and even get sad but do not get depressed for a long time. It will only make your life more miserable.

9. Use your experience: If you can use your experience in life then you will surely become successful and happy one day. You see, our experience tells us what to do and not to do, whom to avoid etc. So, if you can learn from your failures then it becomes a part of your experience.

10. Focus on your life: Remember one thing- in the end it is you who has to live your own life. You will have some people here and there traveling with you but hardly anyone will stay with you for a long time. So, focus on your life or else you will face many problems.

“I don't know the secret to success, but the secret to failure is trying to please everyone” - Bill Cosby.

Finally, life can be great or miserable. It is not  a problem. If you can remain calm then bad times will pass and good times will become great.
