Everyone should read this (at least twice)
Think about death often.
"Live your life like you'll die tomorrow, but make plans like you'll live forever"
This way, you treat people better. You worry less. You give more. You make better choices.
Prepare for stress in advance.
This cognitive process called "proactive coping" make you less reactive to stress.
- When you save for rainy days, you create a cover for when the troubles come.
- When you're emotionally prepared for your annoying boss, you're less reactive.
Being respected, like anything else, is defined by your actions.
In every social setting, you're either highly respected or disregarded

This can be you. The recipe is self-belief and a crazy work ethic.
You choose to be the victim.

- I've seen people who have gotten only hate but are still filled with the most love
This taught me how you either choose to be identified as your pain or overcome them
Use Time and Silence
Time, when you feel like your efforts, are not yielding results.
Silence, when you feel the need to say negative things about yourself and others
Showing anger doesn't impress anyone
Many people see anger and physical outburts as a sign of masculinity. But this is flawed.
Anger is weakness. The real strength in heated situations is calmness.
