arrive at a mutually beneficial solution. You should learn to celebrate the accomplishments
of others instead of being threatened by them.

Listen to others

You should listen to others. Most of the people do not listen to others very well. One of the
great frustrations in life is that many do not feel understood. This habit will ensure you to
learn the most important communication skill that is: active listening.

Work in group

One person is better for meditation; two are better for study and more are better for
interaction. Therefore, you should work in groups to create something better than working
alone. Through this habit, you may learn that it does not have to be “your way” or “my
way” but rather a better way.

Renew yourself

You should regularly renew and strengthen the four key dimensions of life – body, brain,
heart, and soul. Smart work is possible on the basis of these four and their efficiency.

Be reflective

Reflection is a key technique to reveal your reality, i.e. your strengths and weaknesses.
You are the best person in the world to know about yourself. Therefore, you should review
yourself against your friends, your role model and your knowledge acquired from your
experience or texts. After your reflection, you should not worry about your past, but be

happy since you have learnt a lesson from your past, and make your future better.

Try to be good, not great

You should try to be simple and good. Simplicity is the best method to get respected and
loved by others. All good people are great, but all great people may not be so. The simplicity
and goodness in nature are always respected and worshipped everywhere in the world.
