tips for life
23/09/2009On the 21st November 2009, my son, George, will be 1 year old. Just before he was born I had an urge to write down all the things in life I wish I had been told before I embarked on this mad little journey. However, because I’m a lazy arse, I never got round to it.
So now that his first birthday is fast approaching, I’m about to get all philisophical and share my tips for life. In this first post I will list all of my tips, I will then elaborate on each one in subsequent posts.
It is also worth noting that I left out some obvious points such as ‘Live every day as if its your last’ and ‘Life’s too short’, these I consider to be pre-requisites!
I want to give a bit of recognition to an excellent post which inspired this one a little bit. So make sure you check out 100 ways to live a better life.
And finally, here are my tips for life:
- Silence often says more than any words.
- Learn something from every single person you meet.
- Be kind and sharing but ultimately be selfish.
- Support Liverpool F.C.
- Don’t take yourself (or anything for that matter) too seriously.
- If you’re happy, carry on what you’re doing, if you’re unhappy, change whatever it is you’re doing.
- Be humble.
- Appreciate how lucky you are.
- Be confident.
- Ask questions.
- Be reflective.
- See the good in everyone.
- Rise above adversity.
- Support Liverpool F.C.
- Don’t take things personally or get defensive.
- School will be the best years of your life despite how you feel at the time, but remember school is only a small part of your life.
- Enjoy being a child/don’t grow up too quickly.
- Observe.
- Do things for you.
- Support Liverpool F.C.
- If you cant say anything nice dont say anything at all.
