TEN COMMANDMENTS!!!!

Hi friends,


Long time since I updated my blog. The reasons for that are pretty simple. One is that I had no idea what to write about. And the second is that I was too lazy to sit and think (am in my hols).

Suddenly I thought that I should write about some of the policies to be followed in life (also some facts to be known), not that am a perfectionist and a ‘know-all’ guy…. But I think we can try to be perfect by following some principles (we always get credits for trying!!!) …. If not follow them, at least know them…


1.
There are 2 kinds’ pf people in this world.
One set of people are those from whom we can learn how to live. The other set of people from whom we can learn how not to live.
So stop complaining about how bad a person is!!!

2.
There are 2 other kinds of people too. They are the brilliant people and the genius people.
Brilliant people are those who learn from their mistakes.
Genius people are those who learn from others’ mistakes.
So try being a genius!!

3.
If u think we live among people you are only partly correct. We also live among lots of expectations.
We are prone to face disappointments if we expect things from others.
So keep it simple…. Don’t expect anything from others but keep yourself open to others’ expectations.

4.
‘Some things’ in life need luck. Here, ‘some things’ is very few. Most things, to be achieved need hard work. There is no supplement for hard work. Going by the words of Thiruvalluvar… even if god fails to give u success, the amount of work you put in will definitely deliver you to the gates of success.
So, come on…. work hard!!!


5.
When you start to work, keep your mind free of other issues. Like, when you’re driving a car, don’t listen to music or talk. Because it diverts your concentration and you end up less efficient, i.e. you end up spending more time and energy than what is actually required to do the work.
So focus!!!


6.
Don’t procrastinate. Never put things away to be done later. Be prompt in whatever you do. Example: A man plans to build a house (am not picking on anyone!!), but the plan is yet to take off. 2 years pass away and the plan is finally seen taking shape. But the cost involved in building the house is more than what it would have taken 2 years back. (50kg cement cost Rs.165 2 years back and now it’s about Rs.220-240!!).[SOURCE: PROPERTY PLUS-HINDU]
So never put things off!!!


7.
Never do planning for the distant future. Because if you do so and you aren’t able to execute it as planned, there are chances of you feeling defeated. On the other hand you can have short term goals, which are easier to realize. Maybe, as time goes by you can have long term goals and plan ahead. But to start with you always have to keep it simple.
The same applies to resolutions too!!!

8.
Learn to say ‘NO’ (of course, not in all cases). You are never in a position to oblige each and every person you come across. Prioritize. Know whom to help and whom not to (or help later).


9.
‘Talk less and work more’ is a well known proverb. The point is, if you work more don’t talk about it at all!! To make it clearer, don’t have any self pity or don’t blow your own trumpet (you can take it either way or even both!).

I have somehow racked my brain to write these 9 points. But I want to make it 10 so that it looks like a ‘ten commandments’ sort of stuff. So… here is the 10th point,

10.
The above written will merely be gibberish or just words unless you put them to practice or heed by them. So try doing so.


All the best.
