This could also be characterized as a guide to a good life. And we all really need him. We are tired of unpleasant situations, nervousness, bad love moves… Life is too short to spend time on unimportant things, so let’s see how we can improve it.
Don’t be rude
This topic applies to both speech and behaviour. So, treat people nicely and politely, just the way you would want them to treat you. Indecency or rudeness in speech or behaviour will cause others to distance themselves from you.
Don’t blindly follow every idea
Many leaders seduce followers by leading them to follow them blindly, without taking into account the true perspective. It is not a matter of considering every possible point of view acceptable, but of using personal awareness and personal attitude, and specifically researching its authenticity.
Having a majority is not a criterion for truth. By no means do I want to convey that I recommend for the mother to be inactive.
Choose leaders according to their merits
Merit selection is the method used for locating and recruiting, or investigating, or evaluating candidates for leadership positions. It is called merit selection because the leader is chosen based on qualifications, and not based on social and political ties.
Choose your company carefully
Avoid spending time with bad people. If you still have to, be careful not to fall to their level. Because if someone is dirty, his friends will soon get dirty, no matter how clean they were in the beginning. Can the purists turn over the dirty ones? Hardly, not to say impossible!
Don’t be arrogant
Do not walk the earth impudently and defiantly. Act modestly and address people with ridicule. No one likes braggarts, nor will they love them. In this way, you only reduce your values, which — in reality — you are likely to possess to a certain extent.
Respect your parents
Parents deserve every respect because they took care of us when we were small and helpless. To take their child out into the world and make him a dignified person, they go through a lot. Sleepless nights, unpleasant mornings, labour pains … Parents, for the most part, do everything to create an opportunity for their child to have a better chance in life than they had, and to be far more successful than their parents.
Don’t break promises
Breaking promises makes every person unreliable. With such behaviour, we put ourselves in a position where people do not trust us, they have a feeling that we will disappoint them and make them unimportant. In the end, we lose their trust and respect.
Don’t follow passions
Excessive impulse, the one that neglects reason, leads to the fact that when we feel strong emotions or passions, we make mistakes in judgment. And the reason is the antidote to passions, so it is quite clear that we will live better when reason prevents us from becoming slaves to our passions. If we approach only those things that make us satisfied and give us a good feeling, it will lead us to waste our lives.
Strive for peace and agreement
The conflict between people leads to reduced productivity, creating a difficult environment, and reduces morale to a minimum. Humans were created and born to cooperate. It is not natural for people to clash and resist each other. What we can do is control ourselves. Others, of course, we cannot.
It is also stupid to try to avoid other people’s flaws. They are inevitable. All you have to do is avoid yours!
Don’t make fun of others
Ridicule is irritating and disturbing. Don’t make fun of others, because that someone may be better than you. Insulting and calling offensive nicknames will cause someone to hate you.
Don’t spy and don’t gossip
Not a single day goes by without hearing stories and speculations about someone we know. That is a distraction. Other people’s mistakes should be left to their creators. Concentrate on yourself, and your potential mistakes. Take care of your own life. None of us has enough time or needs to spy on other people.
Contribute to society
There are four types of investments. A person invests time, energy, emotions and money throughout his life. All people should enjoy giving benefits, even though it costs us work, but on the condition that they make work easier for others.
Don’t overspend
Wealth can give us pleasure in life, but it can distract us from what is important to us. Remember, with money you can buy everything you want, but you can’t have everything you want.
Exposure to social media and marketing entices us to spend unnecessarily. Every so often it is OK to keep up with trends, but we need to be sure not to exceed our personal budget and spend money on items we don’t need.
Never start first
Fight those who fight you, but never be the initiator of trouble. Nobody likes aggressors.
Do not burden others beyond their potential
Not everyone had the same upbringing as you. Not everyone has the same genes, level of education, intelligence and premature exposure to things and events. These factors strongly affect a person. Some grow up in a better and some in a worse environment, so they have inferior habits.
Do not gamble and do not use opiates
These are the things that can stop you from being the person you really want to be and to do the things you really want to do. What’s more, they can prevent you from experiencing health and happiness.
Be moderate
All good things come from moderation. We frequently hear people talk about wisdom, justice and courage. But rarely do any of them talk about moderation. Moderation is perhaps the best-kept secret and the most valued value of modern society.
Locating the golden mean can produce the biggest difference.
Restrain your anger
Many thinkers and philosophers have recognized anger as a destructive emotion. Anger, usually, does not improve things but makes them worse. It is best to repel the first “attacks” of anger at the very beginning and resist its beginnings.
Never lose hope
Life is full of tests and temptations, but people must be faced with patience and hope. Hope will lead you through the darkness, while despair will only prolong that journey.
Do not waste your time
Time is precious because life is short. Still, people spend time having fun, eating junk food and relaxing. Instead, they should acquire new skills and knowledge, healthy habits and invest in themselves.
Persevere in righteousness
Do not pursue personal gain so as not to be unjust. Be persistent injustice, even if it is against yourself. Don’t let the hatred of some people lead you to act unfairly.
Encourage something good, prevent evil
Often injustice lies in what you don’t do, not just in what you do. All that is needed for the triumph of evil is for good people to do nothing! Don’t be a person who doesn’t want to do anything.
Beware of envy
When the thing we are dependent on is something external, like someone else’s property, it just means that we want pleasure rather than happiness. The focus of our envy is on nice things to have, but are not necessary for happiness. Those things are not under our control and could disappear in an instant. This makes them unreliable and weak.
