In my view we all owe a special person in our life a special debt of gratitude. That person that as a child put your interest before their own desires and dreams. That person that took you and molded you from an impressable infant into the strong person you are today.
Sometimes I think about the person I am now and the person I want to become. At the top of my list I want to be that person who put their life hold for others. I want to give more than I take. I want to be generous with my time and possessions.
I don’t have much in the way of worldly possessions. No stacks of silver and gold to speak of. But honestly a simple life is probable better in the long run than a self-destructive life style I would have as a rich man.
Here are 7 lessons I’ve learned that I think can help anyone, anywhere.
Work hard and you won’t feel sorry for yourself: Don’t just mope around the house and feel sorry for yourself. Attend to business. Get off the couch and get something done.
Don’t cut corners or it will cost you in quality: When you lose quality you lose everything. People everywhere simply want quality. I know I do.
Have fun doing the things you want: Decide on smart ways to allocate your time and stick to it. When you having fun focus only on just having fun. Learn to find ways to make your job or work to be fun.
Be strict, but caring too: Let people know you have values. Let people know you care about them too. It’s so important.
Tackle problems head-on: Don’t run away from the challenges of your life. Let people know you’re going to hang on until something is solved. Winners never quit.
Pray.
