There is little use..
in attaching significance to what the other person thinks of you. Different people have different views and it is impossible to please all of them. Happiness is a state of mind and it comes from within (yes it can be influenced by external factors but that is not lasting). So there is no point mulling over what the other person thinks of you and trying to change it. The opinions keep changing anyways. And there is no right or wrong.
The key to getting work done..
is having incentives. And disincentives. The toughest part is in finding the right incentives.
Plan..
It helps. Before you embark on something new, plan it out. It might take a lot of time which might seem wasted, but it will definitely save even more time and a lot of headache later on. If you are not convinced, atleast try it next time :)
Which brings us to the next learning.
If you are not convinced of something, see if you can prove it wrong. If its just you “not being sure”, it might be well worth trying it out. You will learn a lot from it even if you dump this “something” later on.
In desperate times..
Laugh at the situation. Make as much fun of it as you can.
Just like getting rid of a boggart :)
Purpose...
If you have a purpose in life which you feel strongly about, you can do anything!
It is a natural human tendency..
..to want to help. It makes a person feel good. It makes you feel wanted.
This means that you may actually be doing the other person a favour when you ask them for help once in a while! :)
What it also means is that one of the simplest ways to feel good is to help someone! :)
