Discover 12 Life Secrets That You Should Be Aware Of Today

Life is all about making choices and having t live with them. It’s also about doing the right thing and being able to live with the consequences of our own actions.
Thats said, take it from those who have been there, here are top life secrets & tips everyone should know.
1. Treat every day as if it’s the first day of the rest of your life or career
I don’t care if it’s not Monday or January 1st. This means you get to forget all your so-called failures as if they never happened. Unfortunately, this means you forget your successes too.
The great news is that both of these actually cause strain which you can now let go. Every day technically is a new beginning.
2. Learn how to say NO at the right times
The faster you learn this, the more happy days you’ll live and the more productive your workdays will become. Trust me.
Over time you’ll make lots of mistakes and “fail”… but, trust me, everything you want is on the other side of fear.

3. You’ll make a lot of mistakes in your life
You’re better off making those errors of commission rather than omission. When you look back, you’ll be much sorrier for the things you didn’t do as opposed to those you did.
Along those same lines, it won’t matter much the choices you make as much as it will the conviction in which you make them. Be committed to everything you do. Take the job you want even if it’s “risky.”
4. There is no such thing as failure
The only exception to this rule is trying to please everyone. You will certainly fail at that. That rule is bulletproof. No exceptions.
All I need to do is pay attention and work hard and I’ll find  success. Right?
5. I tend to notice two types of people—those that are disciplined and everyone else.
100% of the people in the first group eventually become successful. Some of the people in the second group do as well.
Remember, what you do everyday matters more than what you do once in a while. Promotions don’t happen because of one big success.
6. Hard work doesn’t guarantee results
Smart work increases the likelihood of good results. Concentrate on what you do along the way and embrace the journey with no attachment to the outcome.
You’ll enjoy yourself more and likely have better results. You’ll also avoid disappointments that could result from faulty expectations.
Technically speaking, any outcome that didn’t occur the way you thought it would means you had faulty expectations.
Faulty expectations arise for two reasons—you can’t see the future and you developed those expectations without all the necessary information. Don’t expect people to buy the best product. Don’t expect your boss to be fair. Don’t expect life to be fair.
7. Intelligence is overrated.
Talent is really overrated. You only need three things to be successful—Passion, Vision, and Commitment. Contrary to what people think, you’re not born with passion.
It’s grown. Vision isn’t seeing into the future. It’s making the future happen the way you want it to.
Commitment is the most important item.
It makes up for any shortcomings of the other two. Live every workday to the fullest. When it’s over think about how it’s moving you toward where you want to be. At any moment, don’t be afraid to change your career.
8. School does not equal education
Going to school helps you earn a degree.If you have to pay for someone to teach you something—anything—that’s not education. That’s paying for a degree or certification or whatever.
Real education occurs when you do something you love for free or by the good graces of some employer and get paid for it. No one can teach you more than you. No one can teach you more than you. It was worth saying twice.
People make the world go ‘round. Sometimes you need them and sometimes you don’t. But, all the time, watch who you befriend…
9. Keep everyone’s phone number—even the people you dislike
They might be helpful someday. If given the choice between knowing the right person or having your MBA, remember that friends hire friends before they hire credentials and degrees.
10. Never treat your subordinates poorly
I assure you someday they will be working at company you’re trying to get into. It’s also possible that someday you’ll be reporting to one of them.
