I really loved below points, you will never be sad if you apply these in your life, believe me.

 

• Do Not Discuss People. Discuss ideas instead.
• Do Not Be Jealous. Firstly, it is extremely meanly. Secondly, it makes you look miserable. Thirdly, this feeling has never made anybody happier, luckier or more successful.
• Do Not Compare Yourself With Others. Live your own life and make sure it goes smoothly in the right direction.
• Do Not Overwork. Hard work has nothing to do with productivity. Work smarter instead of working harder.
• Do Not Be rude. Rudeness never shows your power but rather makes you look ridiculous and silly. Impress people with your politeness and let them respect you for that.
• Do Not Be Impulsive. Every time you disagree with something do not make hasty conclusions or decisions. Give it a chance and let it settle down in your mind for a while. Soon you can notice how your opinion regarding that issue has changed.
• Do Not Doubt Yourself Too Much. Embrace the truth. You are braver than you believe, smarter than you think and stronger than you seem. Go and get it!
• Do Not Be Afraid To Act. Fear is a reason that paralyzes people and stops them from taking action. Overcome your fears and start acting confidently.
