Life Lessons


A NZ personality came from a poor childhood and recently expresses his life lessons. Here they are:

- Get over making excuses for your lot in life and 'clear the decks'.

- Ignore your own negativity and that of the 'wasters around you'. Realise the line of least resistance is to do nothing.

- Open your eyes to the limitless opportunities around you and the fact that they are available to anyone who is prepared to get up, cross the road and do it.

- Plan a journey to your future, but enjoy the challenges and successes along the way toward reaching your goals.

- Don't let setbacks convince you that you were wrong to try - successful people are measured by how they handle failure.

- Don't be a talker, do it.

Of course, many in poor, corrupt countries (of which the world has too many) these lessons may be of only some use. But for those who live in western affluent countries and have an uphill road for whatever reason, these 'Life Lessons' are most useful.
