Life is nothing more innumerable than a contest of numbers. The more risks you take, the more rewards you will receive. Pursue the opportunity to stop spending your days searching for security and start spending your time pursuing opportunities.

7. Fortune is not on the side of the faint hearted

Solitude is dangerous. It’s very addictive. It becomes a habit after you realize how calm and peaceful it is. It’s like you don’t want to deal with people anymore because they drain your energy.

Norman Cousins once remarked that “The Tragedy of life is not death, but what we let die inside of us while we breathe.” Too many people spend more time focusing on weaknesses rather than developing their strengths. If you set goals, the action you take will be based on your life’s mission rather than your day-to-day mood.Are you using the best within you to its fullest capacity? If not, you are not only doing yourself a disservice.

6. Develop your talents

According to L.F. Phelan –“Youth is not a period of life; it is a state of consciousness.” Bodies grow old only by abandoning their ideals and outgrowing the consciousness of juvenility. Ages wrinkle the skin but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles your soul. You are as old as you fear, your doubt, and your despair. The way you keep young is to keep your faith young."Happiness is not a place you reach but a state you create"

8. Youth is a state of mind

Thinking about all those obligations that you wish never happened to you is actually obstructing all the things you want to appear from invading your life.

2. Let the brightness enter your life

You convert what you think about all day prolonged. It produces no sense to worry about past mistakes or misunderstandings unless you want to undergo them for the second time.

3. Never worry about past events

“If you can fill the unforgiving minute with sixty seconds worth of distance run, yours is the earth and everything that’s in it.”

Wisdom is knowing what to do next. Skill is knowing how to do it, and virtue is performing it.

“Kindness, quite simply, is the rent we must pay for the space we occupy on the planet.”

Robin Sharma has focused chiefly on Solitude in Who will cry when you die. Solitude has the answer to your problems. But at the same time, solitude is soo addictive. If you are in complete solitude, you will least care about others. You will be completely lost in yourself

Solitude 

Listen carefully while conserving. If you are not listening, you are not learning.Robin Sharma’s tips for better conservation- ● When you say something and the person in front doesn’t respond for 60sec, it is better to quit.● Concentrate more on what the person is talking about rather than speaking.● Take some time to reply once the person finishes saying.● Take time before keeping your opinion.

9. Get behind people’s eyeball

"Never regret a day in your life: good days give happiness, bad days give experience, worst days give lessons, and best days give memories."

“Read everyday something no one else is reading. Think every day, something no one else is thinking. It is bad for the mind to be always part of unanimity.”

We treat our friends, colleagues, boss very well. But we don’t treat our family the same way. In fact, they are the person we admire and trust the most. After work, before going home, take a break of at least 10 minutes in Solitude and plan how you will make them happy. Reach your home with a smile on your face.

10. Decompress before you go home

“WHEN WE BORN WE CRIED WHILE THE WORLD REJOICED, ENDURE YOUR LIFE IN SUCH A WAY THAT WHEN YOU DIE THE WORLD TEARS AND YOU REJOICE.”

“It is not enough to be busy, so are the ants. The question is what are you so busy about?”

“The skeleton of habit alone upholds the human frame.”

“Several of us die at twenty and are buried at eighty.”

quotes from Who will cry when you die

Writing in a journal grants you the opportunity to have one-on-one conservation with yourself. A journal is not a diary. A diary is a place where you recorded events, while a journal is where you analyze and evaluate them.

1. Keep a journal

" We are all imagining some magical rose backyard beyond the horizon instead of enjoying the roses that are blooming outside our window today! "

“We live on a minor planet of a very average star located within the outer limits of one of a hundred thousand million galaxies.”

During life’s most terrifying times, we discover who we really are and the fullness of strength that lies within us.

5. Pain is the teacher, and failure is the highway to success

It is the quality, preferably than the quantity of sleep, that matters most. Robin shares some effective tips to help sleep more deeply. They are:- ● Don’t eat after 8:00 PM.● Don’t drill the activities of your day while trying to sleep.● Don’t watch the headlines before you sleep (some sad news can make you feel distressed).● Don’t read in bed.

4. Focus on quality of sleep rather than quality
