(Alberta Times)
1. Don’t belittle yourself by comparing yourself with others. Everyone has their own characteristics, and everyone is a unique miracle. A ruler is short, an inch is long. There is no need to compare your own strengths with the shortcomings of others, and there is no need to constantly lament that you are always inferior to others, because no one can claim to be perfect. The biggest shortcoming in life is comparing yourself with others. Comparing ourselves with superiors makes us feel inferior; comparing ourselves with ordinary people makes us inferior; comparing ourselves with mediocre people makes us proud. External comparison is the source of our turmoil and insecurity. It also makes most people lose themselves and blocks the original fragrance of their souls.
2. Don’t regard what others think is important as your life goal. There is a kind of person in life who cares very much about what others think of him and completely acts based on the evaluation of others. If others say yes, he will act according to their ideas and wishes; if others say no, he will regret, panic, blame himself, feel depressed, and die down. He is always worried, afraid, troubled, and painful about other people's opinions. He often hides himself, caters to others, and does not know who he is. The great Norwegian playwright Ibsen has a famous saying: "What is a person's first duty? The answer is simple: to be yourself." Yes, the first thing to do is to be yourself. You must recognize yourself, control your own destiny, and realize your own life value. Only in this way can you truly be your own master.
3. Don’t turn a blind eye to the most familiar things. What are the most familiar things to us? It may be what you most easily ignore - family, friends, love, time, work, body, reputation. . . . . All of this will make you what you are now. Without all of this, you are just a lonely person, unable to move forward. If you ignore the things that matter most to you, you are pushing wealth away from you. Only by making good use of all the resources around you can you go smoothly in life and career and reach a higher level.
4. Don’t be obsessed with the past or the future and let life slip through your fingers. People who are down-to-earth and know how to make full use of the present will never have too many illusions about the unknown life in the future, nor will they regret too much about the failures or glories of the past. They understand that only by cherishing today’s life will their lives not become empty and boring. Don't trample on the roses under your feet today because of the mirage of tomorrow, causing the opportunity that could have made achievements to slip away quietly.
5. Don’t give up when you can still give. Nothing will really end until you decide to give up. If you have 99% desire to succeed but 1% want to give up, you will miss out on success. Napoleon. Hill said nothing can be accomplished where you give up control. Giving up lightly is the dungeon of the will, which it allows the will to run into and hide in, trying to live in seclusion there. Only by breaking through the restricted area of thinking and having the courage to break through and develop can we bring about fruitful results and a moment of smiles.
6. Don’t be afraid to admit that you are not perfect. The world is not perfect, and life has its shortcomings. Leaving some regrets can actually make people sober and encourage them to forge ahead. There is a saying that a grandmother without wrinkles is the most terrifying. A past without regrets cannot continue to connect life. For everyone, imperfection exists objectively, and there is no need to blame others. While envying others, you might as well think about how to get out of misunderstandings. Either beautify it with kindness; enrich it with knowledge; or develop it with a skill. . . . . . The value of life lies in being able to "self-accept" calmly after seeing one's shortcomings.
7. Don’t be afraid of taking risks or encountering danger. Life movement is essentially an adventure. If you don’t actively meet the challenge of risk, you will passively wait for the risk to come. Taking limited risks can only bring two results: success or failure. If you succeed, you can advance to new areas, which is obviously a form of growth; even if you fail, you will quickly understand why you did something wrong and learn how to avoid doing it in the future, which is also a form of growth. Not only that, a social environment that encourages risk-taking can also help cultivate the spirit of individuals who are not satisfied with the status quo and have the courage to make progress, and can also help improve individuals' sensitivity to changes in opportunities. Only a person who dares to take risks has a chance to achieve great success.
8. Don’t let yourself lose the moisture of love
There is a garden of love between people. If you are lazy, it will be barren; if you are diligent in sowing and irrigating, it will spread the fragrance of love to you. If there is a lack of love, the sky in the world will become gray, the temperature of the air will drop to zero, and the mood of life will lack happiness. The love of a lover is an alluring flower. Human love is a magnificent garden palace.
9. Don’t throw away your dreams easily. Without dreams, there is no hope. Without hope, there is no meaning of life. Hold on to your dreams, because if your dreams die, life is like a bird with broken wings that can no longer fly. Hold on to your dreams, because once your dreams die, life will be like a barren field, covered with snow and ice, and nothing will survive. Everyone has dreams, but some people's dreams can come true, and some people's dreams will always be just dreams. There are factors of ability and environmental conditions, but there is another reason that is easily overlooked, that is: some people's dreams are very powerful, while some people's dreams are very fragile. The strength of dreams often determines the strength of a person.
10. Don’t let life pass in a hurry. Life is not a race, but a journey. Every step has a scenery worth stopping to appreciate. Huang Tingjian, a poet from the Song Dynasty, once said: "There is no leisure in life. How many times can we take a break from the busy schedule?" This tells people that life is busy, so we must learn to take a break from the busy schedule. Taking a break from busy work is in line with the way of relaxation and is also in line with the laws of nature. Nature has a pattern of busyness and leisure. Spring and summer are full of vitality, all things are growing, and swallows are dancing and butterflies are flying everywhere; autumn and winter are dull and desolate, and all things are silent and in a state of dormancy. Human beings are also part of nature, so most outstanding people know how to relax and find the fun in life through leisure.
