3 Life Tips to Use Anywhere

I don't like to think of myself as super-amazing at anything but most of the time in life I try my hardest. Then again, I'm also not a 99% student or a teenage millionaire, I do use a few different methods to control myself, feel better about anything and work towards perfection to make sure I get the most out of life.


Don't let your anger take control of yourself - This is how where everything bad in life happens. I've had times in school where someone's ticked me off bad and I felt like punching them, but then who would get in real trouble? Me. Like when my friend decided to draw on my notebook and I got really frustrated with him and the teacher didn't believe it was me and I got in trouble for distracting him. If I let it go, I wouldn't of gotten in trouble and he wouldn't of got a laugh out of it. Or if your boss or girlfriend (or boyfriend, girls) really gets you mad one day, just remember they're the people that will make you most happy in life and you've got to treat them better than anything in life. If you know you are right and you are absolutely sure about it, don't freak out on them. I've done this in the past and it makes them feel bad, hate you, and then you lose them as a business relation or partner. If they're really not going to do it your way, negotiate. If they owe you $50, comprise for $35 and at least you have them as someone to work with in the future instead of each of you having a grudge against one another.


Double check everything - If you're on a roll, with anything really, like telling jokes or writing amazing blog posts, don't do the next one without thinking. Just because you've gained the reputation, doesn't mean its easier to lose it. I recently saw the Onion Movie, a movie full of random comedic skits. In one skit was where a man was watching a terrorist training video, comparing two brothers, Aman and Amhed. Aman checks the bombing site before performing the work and looks up the latest Hollywood gossip to fit into an American crowd. Amhed doesn't check anything and leaves everything to the last minute, blowing up himself. Well, it would be good if terrorists were Amhed's, in their case or any case you've just got to check it again. (Note: Terrorists suck, and the skit is for entertainment purposes only, don't get insulted) I've also had some times when I was writing some blog posts that got featured on the site I was working for. I felt so happy that I decided to write another, which I assumed was good after writing it at not checking it for errors, I sent it off to the editor. It ended up having several mistakes, and I now double-check everything, no matter how confident I am.


Everything will work out, keep it real - Karma, basically. If you don't believe in a god, like me, use this as a way to help you get through rough times. I know someone who was playing around and broke someone's wrist. A year later, the guy who was fooling around broke his whole arm. Perhaps it was coincidence, or he got it worse on his time to get hurt. On another occasion I was talking to a friend and he was really being a jerk and kept telling hate me and had been like that for the past few weeks. I thought about they're behavior day and decided I'd just block him from Facebook and forget about him, I don't need to communicate to people like them. Next time I log in, one wall post. An apology explaining how they felt awful for the other day. What? Does everything work out? I don't believe in a god for a number of reasons I'm not going into, but this really proves something out there makes everything work out. So next time something happens to you, just remember it will be resolved, usually in your favor.


There are my 3 tips for you. I use each and every one every single day and they make me a stronger, smarter and overall better person. Give me some of your own tips for life in the comments.
