22 Things We Should Try Learning Early In Life

1. The most sincere and selfless people around you are your parents - They may be wrong sometimes and may be hard on you but don’t just rebel against them without trying to understand their intentions first.
2. Save some part of your money whenever you get some and don’t touch it unless you really really need it.
3. Spend most of your money on things whose value increase with time, rather than immediate pleasure. It won’t last long otherwise.
4. There is no shortcut to being rich. Anyone who tells you so is lying and most probably a cheat.
5. Time is more important than money.
6. Family is more important than career.
7. Pursue what you love to do and be great at it and find a way to make a living doing that.
8. If you are unable to make a living while doing what you love don’t stop doing what you love to do, and while you make your living doing something else keep thinking how can do what you love and still live of it.
9. Life is unpredictable - Make sure your loved ones know that you love and care for them, no matter how busy you are. Never assume they know. Even if they know tell them anyway.
10. Read good books instead of watching TV. You will learn more and waste less time.
11. Don’t buy what they advertise just on an impulse. Take your time to decide if you really need that thing.
12. Change your friends if they do not share your values. It won’t kill you or your reputation.
13. Take risks but calculate the risks before taking them to see that you can handle the failure.
14. Plan your life but leave room for unplanned activities too. Let yourself experience the element of surprise.
15. Remember that nothing lasts forever. Nothing. So appreciate what you have when you have it.
16. Find your own God, don’t believe in what they tell you about God - Find Him within you, reach out for Him and He will hold your hand for sure.
17. It’s better to agree to disagree rather than trying to force your point of view on someone who doesn’t think like you do. 18. Accept your failures with grace and don’t bury yourself in depression when you don’t get what you want. There might be something better waiting for you to notice it.
19. Loving someone does not mean you have to agree on everything.
20. When you are doing something try to focus all your attention to just that task. Forget about everything else.
21. Be healthy - Exercise, eat healthy foods, sleep well and you won’t get to see very many doctors in life.
22. Don’t do things just because everyone else is doing them - Choose what you want to do consciously with specific reasoning.
