Life principles...

I think u had enough on lessons on life philosophy and theory from me... Think to move on to the next part of your lesson=)

For the last 15 to 16 years of your life, you must have been to many places, interacted with different people and experienced various incidents that happened in your life. All these little bits and pieces serve as a lesson to you.

Think deeper, soon you will find that many insignificant things in life are actually capable of teaching things you have never learnt before. Take every day as an adventure, a learning journey for yourself.

It is important that all of us live by a side of life principles. If we just live our lives aimlessly every day, we are just wasting away our life. We only live once, never have regrets... A set of principles will guide us and lead us away from paths that are detrimental to us. Living by your principles, living meaningfully. It will also be a good chance for us to train our self-discipline, to live within the rules that are set by ourselves.

Your life principles are set by yourself. Pick up values that you think is important and will make you a better person in life, add it as a a part of your life principles and live with it.

With a set of life principles, you will find your life becoming more meaningful and you will find yourself becoming a better person, instilled with self-discipline and good set of moral values.


A sneak peek of my life principles/rules:

- Follow my feelings. Not matter what happens, just follow my heart. "Just follow your heart..."

- Do what is important, follow my plan and don't be too easily affected by my peers. " Self control ensure discipline in carrying out tasks..."

- Plan my day, organise my day, with ample time for studying, playing and resting. Ensure that waiting time is minimised and follow the schedule tightly. " Everybody has 24 hours, so do you..."

- Do look out for a gf BUT it does not have to be a priority. Just let it come to me. Gf must have nice/decent personality and so as long we like each other. Looks are not an issue... seriously " Looks are just the surface, what lies inside matters more..."

- Keep my ego down. Be humble, don't show off too much and do not think to highly of myself. "The higher I get, the harder I will fall. Stay humble..."

- Studies are my duty, I must study no matter how much I dislike it. Results should be above average but there is no need to aim to be the best but do not be the worst either. " Studies is my responsibility, not my burden..."

- Results are just a set of numbers that shows my understanding of the subject. No need to get to happy or upset over it. If I failed to reach the target this time, work harder, and I seriously mean WORK HARDER. " Results show everything yet more often than not, nothing..."

- Support structure, as gene suggested. People like encouragement and motivation, nobody likes to get criticized and 'suan-ed'. " Support your friends when they are down and they will support you when you fall..."

- It's okay to be disappointed but never to be upset. Be positive. " Disappointment is unavoidable, being upset is avoidable..."

- Stop lying to myself. Don't give myself false hope nor bluff myself when the truth is already out. " Lie to everybody but never to yourself..."

- Be positive. "Look at things from a different perspective and view a different light..."


Obviously I can't list out all my life principles at one go, there are too many of them. But mostly importantly, bear in mind, follow your heart, trust your feelings. How meaningfully you are going to spend the rest of your life depends on your life principles. Be able to differentiate what is meaningful, important and just for fun.

Take the next 10 minutes, think about how you have been spending the past 15 years of your life.

Have you lived your life to the maximum? Or just barely pass the minimum?
Have you lived within your principles? Or do you even have any?
Have you achieved the true purpose of your life? Or do you not have any?
Have you decided how you are going to spend the rest of your life? Live by your principles.

A person with principles will do the right things.
A person with principles are able to succeed in life.
A person with principles know what they are doing at all times.
A person with principles are well liked, as they are people that are confident and firm, most often than not, have a great personality and moral values.

Living with the right values and life philosophy will make you a better person... Are you willing to be one?
