Top 12 Most Important Principles to Remember in Life - Mytour.vn

Effort alone is not enough to achieve success! You must also focus on efficiency. Equip yourself with a solid foundation of knowledge in your field to increase efficiency. As you accumulate more knowledge and understanding, your efficiency will improve. Remember, success comes from a combination of effort and efficiency. If you find yourself not achieving the desired results after several attempts, it's time to reassess your approach to avoid wasting resources.

Of course, I'm referring to the phase where you begin to mature and gain awareness. It's evident that our mothers provide us with bodies to exist, right? What do you think, what do you want to do, what do you want to achieve, who do you want to become? All those questions will answer how you shape your own life. This relates back to principle number 1: Belief. If you hold misguided beliefs, you'll act and create a distorted life. For instance, consider the IS terrorists, indoctrinated from childhood to blindly believe in violence and slaughter. As adults, they follow that belief and create a life of violence and brutality... There will always be turning points redirecting awareness, and from there, you can create a new life. But it's best to set the right beliefs from the start to save time and intellect. I, myself, have had times where I held misguided beliefs and created a flawed life. I believed that drinking, partying, and smoking were essential qualities of a man, and so I shaped my life accordingly. Worse yet, my friends didn't correct me; instead, they reinforced my beliefs, leading me downhill. It took me 6 years to have a turning point that helped me reshape my beliefs and break free from that. You shouldn't be like me! Everything revolves around cause and effect. You're lazy to exercise -> your body is weak. You're lazy to communicate -> you have few friends. You're lazy in your job -> your income is low. You have irregular eating habits, often drink alcohol -> you're prone to illness. In all these cases, you have different choices to change the outcome, and you should choose wisely. So, your life is shaped by your choices and actions alone!

If the principle of BELIEF is the hardest number 1, then the principle of saying NO is the hardest number 2. It sounds simple, but in reality, we often face internal resistance when we say NO to something. It's especially difficult between the ages of 18-24 to say NO to friends inviting you to go to the internet café, go drinking, go karaoke... You tend to decide with a tongue-in-cheek attitude: 'Yeah, sure, why not?' Even though you know if you get drunk, you'll be late for work/school tomorrow. Your finances aren't great, and if you go out, you might have to eat instant noodles for the next few days. You have study materials, a book to read tonight, but your friends keep messaging you to hang out since the afternoon... and many other situations. You see, it's not easy to say NO in cases like that, right? Advice for you: Consider short-term pleasure and long-term happiness. Always assume both situations when deciding whether to say YES or NO. Evaluate based on multiple factors, what brings long-term benefits to you, what brings positivity, what will leave consequences... Then make your decision. Once a tongue-in-cheek, there will be many more times. Similarly with rejection. Train yourself to say NO from a young age!

Surely you all know: Studying or working with those better than us will lead to faster progress. Of course, how can you progress quickly if you're in a group of people without skills! Whether studying or working, you should choose to collaborate with those who are better. Firstly, in terms of the work environment, this will push you to make more effort to match or surpass them. This is good motivation, but remember to make efforts sincerely, don't use trickery. Those better than you will have more to observe and learn from. Many business owners nowadays always believe in hiring and assembling the best people to work for them. They are better than the owner in their field of expertise, and from there, they help the company's operations run smoothly. Hong Kong billionaire Li Ka-shing has some advice: 'Buy lunch for those better than you, at least once a month, and talk to learn from them.'

Assuming situations is a sensible thing you should do, to have emergency backup plans. But abusing it makes you stuck in a world full of assumptions, confused between what could happen and what will never happen. If you want to assume situations, it's best to think silently or mention it just once. Because if you keep asking 'what if...?' over and over again, people around you won't be able to stand you. They'll get tired and irritated living with someone who always assumes things that will never happen. If you assume positively, it's better, but if you assume negatively... You'll sink deeper and deeper into it, losing faith in your own life because you're always afraid that the assumed things will happen. Exhausted and drained of mental energy because you always have to have backup plans. Having backup plans is good, but it's best to take more action and assume less!'

Negative thinking is a type of energy that will slowly destroy you without you ever realizing it until someone wakes you up. In any situation, when things don't go as desired, humans tend to have negative thoughts. What's even scarier is when you think it's normal and natural, many times it will kill you slowly without you ever realizing it. The brain operates on a structure: Thinking -> Feeling -> Words & Actions. You see, thoughts influence feelings and create actions. Negative thinking sinks you to the point where you drown and assume how every bad situation will unfold, how you will handle it, what will happen to you... Fortunately, the same thing happens when we have positive thoughts. So, you must always nurture positive thinking, like planting seeds in the garden of your mind. Whatever seeds you sow, you will reap. Try to sow as many positive thoughts as possible, uproot all negative thoughts, and you will reap sweet fruits! Every difficult time will pass, the negativity you think may never happen. So, eradicate negative thinking and nurture positive thinking!','

You can't have the idea to start a company tonight and tomorrow you go register it. All big goals must go through the accumulation of small steps. Success in small goals will give you more motivation, making you more confident to approach the big goal. Every small success is a puzzle piece for the complete big goal picture. During the process of finding all the puzzle pieces, failure is normal. Don't give up or waste time lamenting, correct mistakes immediately and continue searching for other puzzle pieces. Remember: Big goals are large pictures that need to be pieced together by small puzzle pieces!'

In youth, staying up late and waking up late is common, especially for students. While young, we only see a few effects from this, but as we age, we realize its significance! The human body is not a machine; it needs quality sleep to achieve the highest performance in all waking activities. You don't necessarily have to go to bed at 11 pm and wake up at 5 am regularly, but at least strive for a quality sleep of 6-8 hours every night. Avoid sleeping until noon; ideally, wake up between 6 am - 8 am. Exercise a bit, have breakfast, drink tea or coffee, and you'll be energized for the day. Just as sleep is essential, regular exercise is also necessary to maintain a healthy body. Imagine sitting in the office for 8 hours a day; how will the muscles in your neck and lower back cope? You don't necessarily have to go to the gym; there are plenty of home workouts to keep you healthy. Just spend some time online searching. You can go to the gym or play sports if you have the opportunity. The most important thing is to maintain a continuous intensity of training. It's not very meaningful if you go to the gym or play soccer for 30/30 days in the first month and then stop for 6 months. Build a healthy body with good habits!'

People tend to blame external circumstances for their results. But the deepest cause always originates from within ourselves. If you plant a tree and the fruit doesn't turn out as expected, what would you do? Discarding that fruit won't guarantee that the next one will be better. What you need to do is nurture it from the roots, water it, fertilize it to grow delicious fruits. Similarly, for each of us, focus on actions that improve yourself if you want to change the results. External factors only partially affect the outcome, not the entire process, so don't blame everything on them before making self-improvements. Change yourself - Change the outcome!'

There's nothing PERFECT in this world. What you think has reached the pinnacle of perfection, after a while, gets pushed down to second place because something better, newer emerges to replace it. That's the law of life. We live in a world where change happens too fast. Nokia, just a few years ago, was considered the standard of the mobile industry, but does anyone remember the legendary Nokia 8600, Nokia N8, Nokia X7, 5800 Xpress Music, N73 ME...? The Note 7 was deemed Samsung's perfect product, then there was a battery issue and... boom, that perfect product exploded. Samsung globally recalled it, ending the Note 7's life cycle in less than 2 months.Similarly, when it comes to humans, if you think you're perfect, or someone else is perfect, there will always be others who are better to prove that perfection doesn't exist. If you're looking for a perfect life partner, I'm afraid you'll remain single forever.Change to adapt and progress, because perfection doesn't exist!

Many people tend to beat themselves up when they make mistakes or feel betrayed. Is it any different from poisoning yourself and hoping others will die from the poison?Forgiveness is an inherent instinct in every human, depending on circumstances and upbringing, education will determine how we use that instinct. Forgiving others seems easier than forgiving yourself.Back when we were in school, making mistakes in our studies was perfectly normal. Growing up, we make mistakes at work and get reprimanded, also perfectly normal. Remember the principle above: Perfection doesn't exist.Most importantly, don't beat yourself up, and don't just criticize yourself. Analyze the causes of the mistake, how serious the consequences are, how to fix it, how to take responsibility? Remember the mistake from the perspective of learning. Never remember mistakes by beating yourself up.Forgiving yourself is a principle that needs to be seriously implemented, day after day, year after year to become a habit. Once you have the habit of forgiving yourself, you'll also be more comfortable forgiving those who make mistakes with you.For yourself and your life!
