Parkinson’s Law

This law states the following:

Work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion.

What does it mean?

Well, basically it says it does not matter if you have to get your car checked within two weeks or two days, you will get it manged either way!

Your brain is a damn efficient thing, use it! You can manage to do stuff way better as soon as you start setting up shorter deadlines.

Homework due to next week? Set youself a deadline for tomorrow and you’ll get it done!

Don’t wait until the last minutes make it count, work in advance!

Start it!

A year from now on you will look back and know why you started today!

I know it sounds lame but believe me, whatever you are going to start today (reading, exercising, eating healthy etc.), in one year you will definitely thank you for NOT procrastinating this time.

Start today!

Be a leader!

Leaders aren’t born they are made. And they are made just like anything else, through hard work. And that’s the price we’ll have to pay to achieve that goal, or any goal.

If we do not plant knowledge when young, it will give us no shade when we are old.

Lord Chesterfield

You will learn your entire life.

But why not start early and make the most of it?

Give!

You get the best out of others when you give the best of yourself.

Harvey S. Firestone

This concept is heard often but is rarely seen in action.

I want to elaborate a bit: Some people depend on others to make them happy. They even complain when others “don’t do certain things for them”. They take it for granted that people are there for them.

What it really works like is the following: As long as you are making the best out of yourself, as long as you try to be the best you can be, others appreciate your value. They genuinely like you and therfore support you. And you will do the same to them because they try to do the right, the best thing.

Caring and helping others is not outcome attached, you to it from your inside out. What happens after that (friendships, getting things back eventually) is just a result but should never be the reason for your behaviour.

There is nothing better than a friend, unless it is a friend with chocolate.

Charles Dickens

Friends are so damn important!

It can’t be stressed enought, surround yourself with a lot of high quality friends!

Friends are not only there for you in fun times, they can also help you out when you really fucked something up. So have some high quality friends, be a damn high quality friend and don’t waste too much time on other stuff. Not much things last as long as real friendships and it is a two-way-mirror, so be awesome, be a good friend!
