Lovexme: 100% agree with the OP.

Number one has always been on my mind. I've lost enough close people to forget how short life can be.

I'd never forget that.

Hmmmm..... Life is really damn short!

Great write up!
I find number 3 to be very true, and the 80-20 principle works just fine. Do less, achieve more. No need to end your life just because you're trying to make ends meet.

I particularly like how all the points here are very interrelated In summary just Live, and live as best as you can.

Number 2, 3 and 4 are very interesting and insightful. @OP well done. god bless you.

Death is not
the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies
inside you while you’re still alive. Be bold. Be
courageous.

whoawa: mark my words, if continue in this ur way, u will die very soon!

Lovely..This is one real good piece..It was worth my MB..Had to transfer the write-up 2 my E-Library

It's true.....

yuzjet: “The truth does not cease to exist when it is ignored.”. You know how you can hear something a hundred times in a hundred different ways before it finally gets through
to you? The ten truths listed below fall firmly into that category – life lessons that many of us likely learned years ago, and have been reminded of ever since, but for whatever reason, haven’t fully grasped.

This, my friends, is my attempt at helping all of us, myself included, “get it” and “remember it” once and for all…

1. THE AVERAGE HUMAN LIFE IS RELATIVELY SHORT.
We know deep down that life is short, and that death will happen to all of us eventually, and yet we are infinitely surprised when it happens to someone we know. It’s like walking up a flight of stairs with a distracted mind, and misjudging the final step. You
expected there to be one more stair than there is, and so you find yourself off balance for a moment, before your mind shifts back to the present moment and how the world really is.

LIVE your life TODAY! Don’t ignore death, but don’t be afraid of it either. Be afraid of a life you never lived because you were too afraid to take action. Death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies inside you while you’re still alive. Be bold. Be
courageous. Be scared to death, and then take the next step anyway.

2. YOU WILL ONLY EVER LIVE THE LIFE YOU CREATE FOR YOURSELF.
Your life is yours alone. Others can try to persuade you, but they can’t decide for you. They can walk with you, but not in your shoes. So make sure the path you decide to walk aligns with your own intuition and
desires, and don’t be scared to switch paths or pave a new one when it makes sense.
Remember, it’s always better to be at the bottom of the ladder you want to climb than the top of the one you don’t. Be productive and patient. And realize that patience is not about waiting, but the ability to keep a
good attitude while working hard for what you believe in. This is your life, and it is made up entirely of your choices. May your actions speak louder than your words. May your life preach louder than your lips. May your success be your noise in the end. And if life only teaches you one thing, let it be that
taking a passionate leap is always worth it. Even if you have no idea where you’re going to land, be brave enough to step up to the edge of the unknown, and listen to your heart.

Painful truth indeed.

yuzjet: 3. BEING BUSY DOES NOT MEAN BEING
PRODUCTIVE.
Busyness isn’t a virtue, nor is it something to respect. Though we all have seasons of crazy schedules, very few of us have a legitimate need to be busy ALL the time. We simply don’t know how to live within our means,
prioritize properly, and say no when we should. Being busy rarely equates to productivity these days. Just take a quick look around. Busy people outnumber productive people by a wide margin. Busy people are
rushing all over the place, and running late half of the time. They’re heading to work, conferences, meetings, social engagements, etc. They barely have enough free
time for family get-togethers and they rarely get enough sleep. Yet, emails are shooting out of their smart phones like machine gun bullets, and their day planners are jammed to the brim with obligations. Their busy schedule gives them an elevated sense of
importance. But it’s all an illusion. They’re like hamsters running on a wheel.

Though being busy can make us feel more alive than anything else for a moment, the sensation is not sustainable long term. We will inevitably, whether tomorrow or on our deathbed, come to wish that we spent less time in the buzz of busyness and more time
actually living a purposeful life.

4. SOME KIND OF FAILURE ALWAYS OCCURS BEFORE SUCCESS.
Most mistakes are unavoidable. Learn to forgive yourself. It’s not a problem to make them. It’s only a problem if you never learn from them. If you’re too afraid of failure, you can’t possibly do what needs to be done to be successful. The solution to this problem is making friends with failure. You want to
know the difference between a master and a beginner?

The master has failed more times than the beginner has even tried. Behind every great piece of art is a thousand failed attempts to make it, but these attempts are simply never shown to us.

Bottom line: Just because it’s not happening now, doesn’t mean it never will. Sometimes things have to go very wrong before they can be right.

U r blessing me guy. Cos I just made a silly mistake dat has thrown me off balance for now. Take solace in ur advice dat it will pass.
