This perhaps might be the best advice I will ever give you. Actually its not my advice but Aristotle's (you should know him that wise philosopher that lived a long time ago). He said, "We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence is not an act, but a habit.". After reading this I asked myself what are the good habits one need to achieve excellence.It didn't take too long before I came up with these wonderful habits that everyone should try incorporating into their lifestyle (me too!!).
- Believe Everyday is a new day: I'm very sorry to let you know that yesterday is gone(gone for good) nothing you do today can change it.Instead you should focus on a new day and try creating a better future
- Work smart: actually I could have said "work hard" but come to think of it what is the difference between the guy that owns nairaland and the bricklayer next door. Yes one is richer than the other but also the bricklayer who works harder is not as rich as the nairaland guy who even though he works hard also works smart. Life is not all about hardwork find time to think about how to become better and smarter.
- Get some exercise: I'm also working on making this a reality for myself. Your day will improve if you get athletic always. It no news but how many people actually do it.
- Read everyday: I guess this is a weak point for most people (you too?). We can only grow as much as we learn.But whats the fastest way to grow? Reading. Don't read only school books,read wide it expands your imagination.
- Quit worrying: are you still with me? Yes you are.Quit having unnecessary worries over things. The world ain't gonna end tomorrow(American English there!)
- Lastly go to bed: tomorrow is a big day.Learn to have some rest.Your body needs sleep not just relaxation.
These are some of the things I came up with. Do you have other ideas? share them.
