self-help

We believe that most of our days are unremarkable; but it’s only because we can’t remember them.

Not all those who wear the name of villain, are truly evil men. Not all those who are respected as noble men, are worthy of the name. Many are those who wear a false mask of benevolence to hide their treachery and the wickedness of their true selves.

Sve naše nevolje dolaze otuda što nismo spremni da umremo od gladi.

Time is your most valuable resource; there are no refunds or second chances for that which you waste. Retire from social networking, break free from TV, and reduce the arbitrary drains on your time each day.

Choose your friends carefully, you are the average of the 5 people you spend most time with.

Give yourself every opportunity to establish yourself as a key person of influence in your industry. Write a little every day. Write a lot once a week. Try to write a book.

If you know how quickly people forget the dead, you'll stop living to impress people.

As I got older, I realized:

1. lost money can be found; lost time is lost forever
2. learning to learn, and changing yourself is a superpower
3. you are not your job
4. networking is about giving
5. best teacher is your last mistake
6. good manners as important as good education
7. do not take your health for granted
8. be a better friend and value relationships
9. if you are waiting for a title to lead, you are not ready to lead
10. a sponsor is more important than a mentor
11. a good story is soulful with sprinkling of data
12. stop worrying about what others think of you
13. if you want an easier life, work on harder problems
14. best teachers are life long students
15. imposter syndrome is real
16. fight against a sense of entitlement
17. half the battle is showing up
18. love and cherish your parents by giving them your time
19. success is not accidental
20. the best views are there for those who love the climb
21. lucky people work harder
22. takers may end up with more, but givers sleep better at night
23. memorizing is not learning
24. it is okay to look back, just don’t stare
25. knowing is not acting
26. straight roads do not make great drivers
27. good listeners hear the unsaid
28. be the person that you want to follow
29. do not limit your contribution to a job description
30. if you are waiting for a title to lead, you are not ready to lead
31. customer service is not a department
32. in the long run, the optimists do more
33. never ruin an apology with excuses

If someone succeeds in provoking you, realize that your mind is complicit in the provocation.

Every man is guilty of all the good he did not do.
