Why nobody told me these things when I was 17 years old?

in story •  7 years ago  (edited)

I know a lot of things, only a few times a year to fly to go to expensive trainings, read a lot, listen to many lectures on the Internet. Long I thought, loads, and, finally, I wrote my thoughts. The task seemed simple, but I have to remember the road we have travelled over the past 15 years.

"What advice would you give, if you would like to talk to you when you were 7?"

For a child of 7 years, phrases and complex words will not be clear. Can't talk about business or universities, such as Harvard, because I could not understand. I could say a few simple principles that are suitable for life. But, how do I reduce the adult wisdom in simple words that you would understand little girl? Hard. The task is not too complicated...

"Damn you!" I would say that many adults, but a child of 7 years.

I would like to write that with age I have mellowed a lot... But no, nothing has changed. Can I change my opinion, get new information, but, first and foremost, are nonconformistă, and I won't change for anyone. Live at my own discretion.

1. "No one but you knows how to live the right life!"

Sure! This message correctly. Neither the mother nor the grandmother, nor the people around you don't choose what you love. You can only impose unnecessary things and too alien to your personality. Things that belong to you you will attract. Decide what you love, and do what you want.

2. "People are different. And not all of them smart and good. You can meet people, fools, angry, weak, but apart from that cheaters. Don't listen to what people say, be careful what they are doing. To believe in facts, not words.”

This principle is valuable to digest for tens of years full of frustration coming from people. Finally I stopped stepping on the same rake – undue credibility to praise and lies. Now I carefully only on the facts. And if I understood it 25 years ago, I would have saved over a million dollars.

3. "The world should not be comfortable. Not everything depends on you. Half of the responsibilities placed on the shoulders of the world and God. Do what you have to do no matter what.”

Yes. If I knew 25 years ago was trying desperately to control things that don't depend on me, I'd know than to live without any care. The ability to relax is the most valuable thing I've won in the last 10 years. I think that's the most important skill for a man, intelligent and energetic. Priceless, that at any moment of stress, you can quickly relax enough to make the right decisions and wait for the right moment to act. The only way you will achieve the desired results.

Three simple steps. Why I didn't tell them no, even in those 17 years? I spend so much energy and nerves...
