I want to shift gears from leadership to a pure focus on crafting an exceptional life. Ultimately, life goes by in a blink. And too many people live the same year 80 times. To avoid getting to the end and feeling flooded regret over a live half-lived, read (and then apply) these tips:
1. Exercise daily.
2. Get serious about gratitude.
3. See your work as a craft.
4. Expect the best and prepare for the worst.
5. Keep a journal.
6. Read “The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin”.
7. Plan a schedule for your week.
8. Know the 5 highest priorities of your life.
9. Say no to distractions.
10. Drink a lot of water.
11. Improve your work every single day.
12. Get a mentor.
13. Hire a coach.
14. Get up at 5 am each day.

*** "Use impeccable words" ***
ReplyDeleteWords come from thoughts.
There is no such thing as a "meaningless word" :)
The words one choose reflect the true character of a person :))

ReplyDeleteJP, 61st tip for stunningly great life is to read ஞானவயல்...(btw, i'am not saying it in முரண்தொடை sense)
ReplyDeleteIt's not enough to just read ஞானவயல் (like Robin Sharma says)... you should also apply the tips... :)
