Don’t wait

Opportunities multiply as they are seized.

Sun Tzu

Missing out on opportunities in order to take better ones is okay. Waiting for better ones rarely works and is slow. Because taking opportunities always creates tons of new ones.

By taking opportunities you get to know new people, new places, new jobs and you automatically reveal new interesting opportunities.

So next time instead of turning down a “not so perfect” opportunity, think about it again and just take it if you don’t have any other things on your hands.

Write that down!

Get your ideas on paper and study them. Do not let them go to waste!

Les Brown

Don’t risk forgetting awesome ideas. Keep a notepad at your bed, keep a notepad in your pockets, always have something to write on.

Trust me, you won’t regret it, always have something with you that you can write onto by hand

Don’t rely on your talents

It is our choices…that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.

J. K. Rowling

You know I could if I just wanted. I’m super intelligent and stuff.

This bullshit attitude is what kills the dreams of many people out there day by day.

You can not do it untill you have done it! Never say “I could do it if I wanted to“, because obviously you can’t, even if the simply lack of will is holding you back.

There are people who decide to work hard and achieve things and there are people who just say they could because they were lucky to be born intelligent, good-looking or especially talented. Therefore good attributes to begin with often stand in the way of people, which is paradox but true.

Don’t be one of those people. Be the one who stays in late, who cleans up the mess, who runs the extra mile. You will get the extra reward, it’s just a matter of time.

Live a proud and awesome life!

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!

Don’t hestitate

Act decidedly and take the consequences. No good is ever done by hesitation.

Thomas Henry Huxley

Don’t hestitate in fear.

Don’t let shock fool you.

Decide boldly and act accordingly, the rest will work out!

Make it count!

Whatever you do, do it with a purpose and not for the money!

It’s easy to make a buck. It’s a lot tougher to make a difference.

Tom Brokaw

Making money is not that important after all. It is fun and games, but it won’t make you happy.

When you die you don’t want to have a high bank roll, you want to be happy so design your life in a way that you could die happily anytime!

Stand for your ideals, share your opinion

A “No” uttered from the deepest conviction is better than a “Yes” merely uttered to please, or worse, to avoid trouble.

Gandhi

You do have ideals and opinions, don’t you?

Good, get them out there! It is not about being right all the time, it is about saying what you think and exposing your ideas to criticism. This will make them grow as they get better day by day.

Make use of your life

I want to be all used up when I die.

George Bernard Shaw

You don’t want to waste your life by not wasting it.

You want to die knowing that you could not have done that much more, knowing that you could not have had that much more fun.

When you die you should feel that your life was awesome, exciting and exhausting.
