About lies

If you tell the truth, you don’t have to remember anything.

Mark Twain

You can see this as extreme as you personally want but fact is: The more you speak the truth, the less problems your brain will have in conversations. Always thinking “Shit, what am I allowed to talk about” is stressful and a lot of work. Don’t make it so hard for you, just be honest and don’t lie around. There’s nothing wrong with making mistakes or not knowing things, but there surely is something wrong with lying about is as long as you can.

Let us so live that when we come to die even the undertaker will be sorry.

Mark Twain

If you died right now, would that affect the world? Do you have an impact on more people than your close family? If not, start to be awesome, dare to be great!

People should apreciate and value your company, they should like you and being with you and they should be sad when you are no longer around. This is not about ego or social value, it is merely about this simple equation:

People enjoy awesomeness therefore people will enjoy you as long as you are awesome.

Be polite, be friendly, do awesome stuff, support others, be kind without wanting payback, be open, be honest and after all don’t forget your goals and ambition in life!

It is that simple.

Well in theory it is. Nevertheless just make sure you always aim for the right thing to do and you will be fine.

The man who does not read good books has no advantage over the man who can’t read them.

Mark Twain

There are thousands of very good books out there and books are essential when it comes to education and growth. Personal experience may weigh more than experience gained from books, but by reading you can learn a lot faster than by experiencing for yourself.

Read. A lot!
