Changes mandate stepping out of one's comfort zone. After reading the book, "Rules of Life" by Richard Templar yesterday, I realised that I have unknowingly violated some of life's very golden rules. As such, stepping out of my comfort zone shall be my aspiration from today onwards. It's motivating and comforting to know that this is, afterall, to improve the quality of my life. So, here I shall share with you, some of the rules of life extracted from the book, that in my opinion are very important:
Rules for you
1. Accept yourself
2. Aim to be the very best at everything you do - not second best (me: I love this rule)
3. I wish I'd done that - and I will (me: Stop procrasinating!)
4. Know when to let go - when to walk away
5. It's ok to worry, or know how not to
Partnership Rules
1. Accept the differences, embrace what you have in common
2. Be the first to say sorry
3. Keep talking
4. Respect privacy
Family and Friends Rules
1. If you are going to be a friend, be a good friend
2. Never be too busy for loved ones
3. Never lend money unless you are prepared to write it off
Social Rules
1. It doesnt hurt to forgive (me: Forgiving does not imply that you are wrong. It does not mean that you accepted or agreed with what the other party had done or said. Instead, it simply means coming to terms with what had happened)
2. Hang out with positive people (me: I'm glad most of my dearest friends are positive.. I could never bear to stop hanging out with them :))
3. Be generous with your time and information
If you are keen to learn moreabout the rules of life, you can borrow the book from me ya? I'm more or less done with reading it..
