Nuggets you may find useful.

In the month of March 2010, I did publish daily lessons for us all to consider and maybe put them to meaningful use. Well, I am sure that they are timeless pieces of wisdom that everyone of us can practice for increased profitability and satisfaction. So I have decided to compile them here, just for you, my reader.

1: You are on your own.

2: Do not trust anyone. And it helps to suspect yourself too.

3: People care about you. But don't bank on that. You are not first in their priorities.

4:Believe in yourself. Don't flatter yourself though, there is always someone who is a notch higher.

5: Nothing is what it seems like. There is always an explanation for anything. Yes, anything.

6: Ignorance breeds ignorance. Never ignore, or leave anything to chance.

7: Ever heard the saying 'Always follow your heart'? True, but that's not to substitute your head. Follow your heart and use your head.

8: Never compromise, unless your life depends on it. Every compromise is like a surrender. It simply invites new demands.

9: Whatever anyone can do, everyone else can do. There is no secret knowledge. No one knows anything that can't be found on a shelve in a public library.

10: Things you do not value will never add any value to your life. If you have no use for something, get rid of it completely, otherwise it will just blur you vision.

11: In this life, everyone matters. Talk with the crowds without loosing your virtue, and walk with kings without loosing the common touch.

12: Time is the most critical, yet a weird resource. It weighs most on those who have it least. So do what you must now, or procrastinate at your own peril!

13: Most of the times we waste a lot of time chasing things that we could have caught by just standing still. Take time to evaluate your goals and strategies.

14: Remember that the most beautiful things in this world are the most useless. Peacocks and lilies for example. You need a stronger basis than appearance.

15: Whatever it is that you do, do it with your best effort, even for the simplest tasks. Otherwise no one will ever give you the important tasks.

16: A good face is a powerful letter of recommendation. So wipe off that frown and wear a smile. And its cheap too.

17: Make sure that you know exactly where you are heading in life. You may as well be already there, or more likely, on the wrong road.

18: Maturity has a lot to do with the experiences you have gone through and what they have taught you. It however has nothing to do with the number of birthdays you have celebrated.

19: Never use permanent solutions to fix temporary problems, and never confuse urgency with importance.

20: In a negotiation, the most you can ever get is what you ask for. Be sure to offer what you have and charge whatever you like. State your price, because if you don't you have yourself to blame.

21:Always have courage to do what you must. No one can ever do what you do better than you do. And one man with courage makes a majority.

22: Never throw mud at people. You may miss the mark; but you must have dirty hands.

23: Failure is sometimes God's own tool for carving some of the finest outlines in the character of His children. So be afraid, but not of failure.

24: Always be diplomatic. This means that you be polite enough to let other people have your way.

25: If you blame other people for your failures, be careful enough to credit them for your successes.

26: Fate chooses your relations. You choose your friends. Do it wisely.

27: Experience is the worst of teachers, don't be fooled. She gives her exams before the lesson. Its like life offering you a comb when you are already bald. So please, get it right the first time!

28: There are two types of failures; the ones who think they have never failed, and the ones who actually failed. I'd rather you fail, for only then do you have a chance to get up!

29: You can never run in the Olympics until you learn how to tie your laces. First things first. Don't be caught up in the details.

30: The last lesson is that your first duty as a human being is to subdue fear. Then, and only then can you do the 29 lessons. Thanks people! Its been my pleasure bringing this to you!
