The real life cannot wait. Life is always now and when you loose out on it, you loose out on it now.
Jens Jessen
It’s good to work hard but remember what you are working for. You don’t want to miss out on the great moments of your life because you were busy working.

Let me tell you a little story.
When I was about ten years old my mum wanted me to go to a course where I should learn to use a keyboard with ten fingers efficiently. Because, well, it was useful at that time and it should be such an effective system. I refused and said that I had done it several years without this system and I would be fine. She on the other hand attended and after completing the course, she came back to show me how great it worked and to prove me wrong. Without surprise I could write not only a lot faster, but without making as many mistakes as she did. Why was that? Not because the course was bad, not even because the system was bad. Just because she had good theoretical information with little practice and I had basically no theoretical knowledge whatsoever but loads of practical infield experience. I learned typing by trial-and-error, I learned it by chatting, by surfing the web and by writing articles. That is why it felt easy to me, it felt natural. My mother, on the other hand, had her mind in the way. The mind hat to control the body, it had to “tell” the hands what they had to do, while my hands knew it for themselves.

Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young. The greatest thing in life is to keep your mind young.

Without deviation from the norm, progress is not possible.
Frank Zappa
While there is nothing wrong with being conform to the mass every now and then, especially when it is your honest opinion, you should always try to question the norm.
Why? Because a mass is way more sluggish than an individual and being sluggish contradicts making progress!
You want to make progress, don’t you? Well then don’t give a fuck and just go for it, no questions asked!

Worrying is like a rocking chair. It gives you something to do but it doesn’t get you anywhere.
Glen Turner
I’ve always liked this quote and therefore was very happy when I found this gem the other day:
When it comes to worries, it is easy.
Just don’t!
Have a good day 🙂

Surround yourself with high quality people who inspire and challenge you
This is so damn important!
There is a lot of truth in the proverb
If you want to find out who a person is, take a look at his three closest friends
Why? Because you are influenced very strongly by the people who are around you constantly.
Youn don’t become them, but you sync in with the time. This process should be watched and should commence with high quality people from whom you can actually learn something.
So don’t waste your time, go the extra mile and start spending a lot of quality time with quality people (not only best friends, but your parents/grand parents/sisters/brothers also by the way!)
