No matter how you spin it, you always pay for something with money, time (the most valuable thing you have), or other resources.

Life is business. And smart business people spend their resources wisely. How? Be calculated. Never waste resources (especially time).

You might think that making no decision at all can do no harm, but you're wrong. The worst thing about making decisions is when you don't pull the trigger.

Waiting, postponing, doubting, researching too much - it's all not useful. Get your act together, and decide firmly whenever you have to make one. And when you made the wrong decision, apologize, and make another decision.

Sometimes you're a leader, sometimes you're a follower. You can be a leader at work, and a follower at home. There's nothing wrong with that. And being a leader also has nothing to do with your title.

You know what is wrong? When everyone looks at each other because no one wants to take responsibility. Decide that you will take responsibility. There you go: You're a leader now.

There's only one thing that helps you to go from nothing to something: Work. I don't care how smart you work, you still have to put in the work.

Just make sure you value effectiveness over everything . Results matter. Get things done and move on to the next thing.

Everyone is a salesperson. When you're dating, you're selling yourself. Same is true when you're applying for a job.

When you sell, be transparent, honest, and to the point. Don't waste your time on people who don't like you anyway. Sales is not about how many people don't want you or your product. It's about finding the people who do .

If you don't believe in yourself, don't try to search for it in motivational posts, talks, or books.

You only improve your self-confidence by becoming good at something. How do you get good? By learning, doing, seeing results, and repeating that process for years. Your confidence will grow slowly every day.

We're social animals. When we're alone, we die early. You might think you don't need friends, but you do. So be nice to each other. And respect that your friends also have lives of their own.

Especially when you grow older, and have more responsibilities (and less time). Things change. People also change. But the connection stays.

We live in a "Look at me! Look at me!" world. Everyone wants to be famous and they do everything to keep up appearances.

Don't believe all the success stories you see everywhere. YouTubers, Instagram models, millionaire entrepreneurs: They seem perfect. But you only see the outside. You don't have to be a cynic. Just don't take appearances for facts.

When someone takes the time to give you criticism, you should be thankful. Why? It's fuel for you.

You can use criticism to improve yourself, your product, or your service. Or, if the criticism makes no sense, it can make you angry, which is also a good thing. That type of anger is useful. "I'll show them!"

Never be a wimp. Take criticism like a champ.

Whether you like it or not, you don't fully control your health. You can only influence it by eating healthy, exercising, and not using your body as a toilet.

Just get off your ass and get moving, you lazy mofo. And I'm not talking about keeping it up for a few days. No, do it every single day of your healthy life. Because if you can't do that, what can you do? See it as practice for the difficult times of life because the stronger you are, the better.

You control your thoughts. That means you decide what you do with your life. If you're unsatisfied, angry, or frustrated, that's all you.

I always thought: "I can never be happy. I need to be rich, own a fancy car, and buy a big house."

But I was thinking all wrong. You can be happy with your current life. All it takes is a decision. And when it improves, you'll still be happy.

When you create something (doesn't matter what it is), you're actively doing something. You either solve a problem or entertain people.

So instead of consuming so much information, products, and entertainment from others, spend a fraction of that time on creating something yourself. You don't have to create something by yourself, you can also do it with others.

No matter what you do: Make yourself useful.

So don't just sit there and read another article; go out and do something.

What are you still doing here anyway? Go on already!
