My *KEY*

Schools commenced. Mostly~ and most of us are again, studying [''sulphur-ing'' Xp]. Can't figure out Why you are in the school / college now? Do no know how to get started? Wanted to do better for a better real future?

I was reading an article the other day about a famous athlete and one of his teammates made a comment that I found interesting. He said, off the record of course, that his famous teammate would have a funeral so small that it could be held in a fitting room.

Now, most people would consider this athlete "successful." He is rich beyond anyone's imagination. He has and will set world records. He will undoubtedly be elected into his Hall of Fame, most likely on the first ballot.

But he is not a successful human being. It is common knowledge that he is universally disliked.

Here are some tips for being a successful human being who has a successful life:

Love People, Use Things.

People who become "successful" and miss a successful life are those who love things and use people. Be sure to put people as a priority for your life. *Ya, don't use others to accomplish something, do it yourself (unless you're paralysed :P

Take time off.
Life isn't just about work. There is so much else to experience here in this life, and unfortunately, too little time to enjoy it. *Yap~ I nap a lot. And er.. think a lot (I enjoy~) :P :P

Be a giver.
Be someone who gives more than takes. Yes, we all have to take from time to time, but we should take only when we need to and give every time we have a chance to! * Giving is unlimited. Trust me, giving won't pay you happiness immediately, but will assure you a happiness-insurance payment. ;)

Be a life-long learner.
I truly believe that we become better people as we learn. Take time throughout your life to grow and learn and become a better person. *Live and learn~ The more you learn, the more you'll know yourself. :D

Keep a sense of humor.
People who laugh are a gift to the world. Don't take yourself or your circumstances to seriously. Learn to look on the bright side and see the humor in situations. *This is so so essential, prevent you form getting psychological disorders. hahaha~

Honor your commitments.
This is a key to a successful life. We live this life based on commitments we make toward one another. Those who honor those commitments are those who will be respected and trusted by others. *Inspire the others, and get inspired all the times. ;D

Mentor someone.
Always take the time to mentor someone. I know this firsthand because of the energy a few people put into my life, sometimes just letting me know that they believed in me. This goes a long way and makes the world a better place! *I have my mentors one~ Learning from someone who's better doesn't mean you are weaker, it helps you more!!

** I am not yet a successful person, but i am one who is trying to do EVERY points of the above. They work, slowly but inspiring. If not, I won't post this up for ya~ ;) **
