10 Laws to live by for become successful

1.- STOP looking for shortcuts; they don’t exist.

I still haven’t found it yet. There’s no success in life without hard work.

2.- STOP dreaming; start planning.

Planning reveals the path from dream to reality.

3.- Stop waiting to get started; today is the day.

I’ve waited years for the perfect moment to come. It never does. Warning! Waiting is also an excuse. Excuses are endless.

4.- Stop waiting for situations to change; YOU change them.

I used to be trapped by a “victim” mentality, “Everything is against me. It’s so difficult!” True, it can get tough, but know that small, tiny steps of progress accumulate over time.

5.- Stop being a people pleaser; it’s impossible to make everyone happy.

Take a pause and ask yourself, “What it is that YOU want?” I said YOU, not your mom or your friends, YOU!

6.- Stop trying to fit in; stand out.

Be honest. If you have to change your dreams, values, and belief system to fit in somewhere, you’re in the wrong place! Get out, get a life!

7.- Stop blaming others; be accountable.

I always had someone to blame for my circumstances. Get over it. Honestly, nobody cares…

8.- Stop trying to correct your weaknesses; embrace your strengths.

School made me focus on my weaknesses and NEVER celebrated my strengths. I grew up insecure and feeling less than the “group.” What a torture!

Perfecting my strengths makes me stand out. When we try to correct our weaknesses, the best we will ever achieve is mediocrity. Silly!

9.- Stop dwelling on your failures; learn and move on.

We will all fail. It’s part of life, our culture, including our educational system which bullies failing.

Get up, LEARN from such priceless experience, shake off the nonsense and move on!

10.- Stop being distracted; own your attention.

Whoever controls the mind, controls the man.

Are YOU in control?

How reading can help you succeed in life.

He makes time for it. Buffet once gave students in an investing class at Columbia University the following advice: "Read 500 pages like this every day," Buffett said to the students, while reaching toward a stack of manuals and papers. "That's how knowledge works. It builds up, like compound interest. All of you can do it, but I guarantee not many of you will do it." Well, we can all build up that knowledge. But are we really doing it? Warren Buffett says, “I just sit in my office and read all day.” What does that mean? He estimates that he spends 80% of his working day reading and thinking. This leads to what is known as the Buffet Formula: “Going to bed smarter than you woke up.” Why is that so important? We’ve been recording knowledge in books for a long time. That means there’s not a lot that’s new; it’s just recycled old knowledge. Odds are that no matter what you’re working on, someone somewhere, who is smarter than you, has

How can you improve your life?

The 18 unconventional ways to elevate your consciousness, expand your influence and ultimately improve your life. Have sex. There's something unflinchingly "human” about a sexual experience. It builds something within you that connects deeply to nature. A confidence is built. From a person who went stretches- sometimes over a year- without having sex due to deeply rooted sexual anxieties (fear of climaxing too quick, that I wasn't “good enough” in bed, distaste of one-night-encounters etc) rediscovering the feeling you get in your life while being sexually active has really made a positive impact. Introduce yourself to anyone and everyone. Human beings are social creatures by nature. With that in mind, it is imperative to make your presence known in any room you're in. Don't you hate that feeling when you're at a party or gathering, you go there with a friend and the friend doesn't introduce you to anyone? It sucks. Extreme responsibility is needed on y
