A man who dares to waste one hour of time has not discovered the value of life.
Charles Darwin
But also know this: Time enjoyed wasting is not wasted. Not everything that seems useless is wasted time as long as you have fun doing it.

The harder your life is right now, the more important it is to keep going.
When life is hard on you, knocks you down and pushes you around, it is important to keep your head up high and a positive attitude. In the end what can possibly bring you down if you refuse to give up? Nothing!
The harder life is on you, the harder you have to fight back. Don’t dwell in self-pitty or pain. Get out there, work out, embrace your hobbies, meet friends, have fun. Don’t stop living!

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.

You can stand tall without standing on someone. You can be a victor without having victims.
Harriet Woods
Life is not always a race against other people. What should matter to you is self-improvement. Ask yourself every day: Am I a better man than I was yesterday? If you can answer with yes, you are doing all right, no matter how slow the speed or how gloriously awesome other people may be. If the answer is no on the other hand you should try to improve, take your eyes of the others and just focus on your tasks at hand.
You would be suprised how far it gets you to just stop comparing yourself to others but just trying to get gradually better at what you love.

A fool despises good counsel, but a wise man takes it to heart.
Confucius
Don’t be one of those critique-hating fools that can’t take any counsel. Be happy that other people are trying to help you. And even if they are not, even if they just give advice for the sake of criticizing, take the best out of it. Make use of every ounce of counsel you get!

Imagine your life was a book, everyday of your life is a page and every chapter is your age. Many desire to have a really long book but very few choose to make it interesting. At the current conclusion of your own book, I ask you this “Would you truly pick it up and read it
Are you really living a life or are you merely existing? If it is the latter you have to step up your game! Find a job you love, find hobbies to be good at, find friends that are worth being called friends, live a life worth reading!

We must travel in the direction of our fear.
John Berryman
This can’t be stressed enough, you always have to expand your comfort zone. Don’t think about it, just go for it. Embrace your fear and get to know it, there will be no bigger enemy in your life.
