Sleep And Exercise
While it is well known that sleep and exercise are important, it is equally important to take it easy and not give yourself a hard time.
Certain things in life, nature, birds, cats and dogs, are naturally infused with happiness. Even an object like a bicycle is happiness. Find your inner happiness by focusing on what makes you happy.
Ups And Downs
Understand that life is cyclic, and ups and downs are a part of our daily existence.
Trusting yourself is essential, and if you find there is a problem that you need to address, don't be afraid to seek help. If you feel you are miserable constantly, you can get therapy for an unbiased diagnosis and treatment.
Ways To Be Happy
- Writing is therapy, and listing out what we are grateful for, on a daily basis amplifies our happiness about the good things in our lives.
- Eating healthy and unprocessed food, like fruits and vegetables makes our body and mind happy.
- Nature is pure delight, and even being next to a tree can provide a silent kind of happiness.

Choose your words wisely
Choosing wisely your words can actually be the key to a successful negotiation.
For instance, the use of 'willing' in phrases such as 'are you willing to come for a meeting...
Avoid using 'Just'
When writing emails or even in speaking, individuals, tend to use quite a lot the word 'just'; while it is a polite term, 'just' suggests also insecurity and the need to ask for permission.
Therefore, whenever you are try to show some authority, go for another word. It is safer.
Speak vs. Talk
While the two verbs are totally synonyms, their use has quite a different impact on people. Therefore, when you invite someone 'to talk', studies have shown that you are more prone to meet resistance than when you just propose them 'to speak'.
The first verb, it seems, is often associated with the idea of not paying enough attention to the other person's words.

Bad at delegating
There is a situation where your manager will assign you a project but not give enough instruction, hoping you will just figure it out. When the project is mostly completed, your manager may finally...
Leaving out the guesswork
Your manager may not put in the effort up front to articulate the expectations she/he has so that you're on the same page from the start. It may leave you guessing what successful completion might look like, and then frustrate you both when you think wrong.
To be fair, at a certain level of seniority, it becomes more reasonable for a manager to expect you to know what you're doing and work out the details by yourself. But even then, a good manager knows when to invest the time to get more aligned on those things.
Dealing with a lack of direction
- Name the issue. Your manager might already be aware of the problem.
- If your boss wants you to take more ownership, you can say that you want to take more ownership for your projects but that you want to do so with confidence knowing what she/he is envisioning.
- You may have to draw those details out of your boss with each new assignment.
- Once you get started on the work, consider giving an early view of your work to your manager, to have a chance to be provided with input early on.
- It may take a few rounds to figure out exactly what something should be.

No Lessons
The Show About Nothing had no moral lessons. In fact, the characters routinely made bad choices, said the wrong things, and committed a faux pas almost in every episode.
They had a rule for this: No Hugging, No Learning.
More Scenes Per Episode
In 30 odd minutes, Seinfeld packed more than 20 different scenes. Up to four different stories, which hilariously tied up with each other in the end, were thrown in the air, only to be skillfully caught by the master juggler Larry David (Co-producer and Director).
