GULP
"Art is long, but life is short."- ancient philosophers
It will take you years to master one subject. When it's time to reap the rewards you will be either too old or dead. Gulp as much as you can now as a generalist, not as a specialist.

Quick tips:
  • Try keeping 5 books on your shelf. 
  • Pick 5 books of different topics.
  • You have the freedom to pick a different book each time you want to read and this can make you look forward to reading each day.
  • Read a few pages of each or just one chapter.
  • Read book summaries
  • Always mix 'n match books to merge your ideas together

My Best Journal 2.0]]> 2018-01-27 09:39:25 UTC https://padlet.com/elisesgelaine/whatyouvelearned/wish/225274993 THE 7 HABITS OF HIGHLY EFFECTIVE PEOPLE BY STEPHEN COVEY elisesgelaine https://padlet.com/elisesgelaine/whatyouvelearned/wish/225275861 Habit #1: Be Proactive
complain = less effort
  • Don't focus on the things you cannot control, rather focus on the thing you can.

Habit #2: Begin with the end in mind
       What I'm doing
              NOT =
What I want to be able to say
  • What do I have to say about myself?
  • Do you want to be remembered as a person who added value to society? 
  • If that's the case are you doing the things that will allow you to say that, or are you scared of failure and choose comfortable mediocrity instead?

Habit #3: Put First Things First
Know your priorities and allocate your time accordingly, i.e. spend more time with your family

Habit #4: Think WIN:WIN

Habit #5: Seek first to understand, then to be understood

Habit #6: Synergise
You can increase your output, expand you knowledge and be happier if you collaborate and build relationships with others.

Habit #7: Sharpen the Saw
  • Anything worthwhile takes time.
  • Invest your time by going to the gym regularly and reading a book 15 mins a day rather than looking for "quick tips and tricks."

                        VS
      Your Subconscious Mind
If you constantly feed your mind with negative thoughts, you can never expect a happy life.
Be very careful with what you tell yourself, as every thought has been stored away in your subconscious mind.
How do I change my vibrations?
Simple, change your thoughts.

What you think about the most is what you will attract in your life.

STOP focusing on what will make you LOOK better.
