GUIDE
TO A BETTER LIFE – BY DR RANDY PAUSCH
Here
are very inspiring thoughts that would somehow give lessons to do something
worth in your life.
Dr.
Randy Pausch was a former professor in Harvard University. He died of
pancreatic cancer in 2008, but wrote a book "The Last Lecture", one
of his bestsellers in 2007. In a letter to his wife Jai and his children,
Dylan, Logan, and Chloe, he wrote this beautiful "guide to a better
life" for them to follow.
I
am posting it here for all of you as they can really change your life and way
of your living and also wish for everyone to be blessed by his deep insights on
how to live a better life.
POINTS ON HOW TO
IMPROVE YOUR LIFE
Personality:
No
one else is in charge of your happiness except you.
Don't
compare your life with others'. You have no idea what their journey is all
about.
Don't
have negative thoughts of things you cannot control. Instead invest your
energy in the positive present moment
Don't
overdo; keep your limits
Don't
take yourself so seriously; no one else does
Don't
waste your precious energy on gossip
Dream
more while you are awake
Envy
is a waste of time. You already have all you need..
Forget
issues of the past. Don't remind your partner of his/her mistakes of the
past. That will ruin your present happiness.
Life
is too short to waste time hating anyone. Don't hate others.
Make
peace with your past so it won't spoil the present
Realize
that life is a school and you are here to learn. Problems are simply part of
the curriculum that appear and fade away like algebra class but the lessons
you learn will last a lifetime.
Smile
and laugh more
You
don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.
Negativity
starts with you. Don't respond to a friend's happy greeting of "good
morning, how was your weekend...?", with a response like "
....weekend was too short and I have to come back here to work".
Be
happy, be grateful, But don't be content. There are a lot more others, who
would sacrifice a lot to be in your place.
Be
positive, even in down times, some may think you're a fool or insane, but
they would still want to be like you.
Community:
Always
call your family as often as you can.
Each day give something good to others. Forgive everyone for everything. To err is human and forgive is divine. Spend time with people over the age of 70 & under the age of 6
Try
to make at least three people smile every day.
Don't allow yourself to fall into compromising situations; you may live to regret some of them.
What
other people think of you is none of your business. You can never have control
on how others feel.
Your job will not take care of you when you are sick. Your family and friends will. So, stay in touch with them always. Life:
Begin everything by remembering or reciting holy names of GOD. It
forms a protective cover on you.
GOD heals everything. Do the right things. However good or bad a situation is, it will change. Nothing ever remains the same. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up. Always believe firmly that the best is yet to come. Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful. When you awake alive in the morning, thank GOD for it. If you know GOD you will always be happy. So, be happy. Life's routes are all about choices, think before you make that choice, & when you do, you will be happy for it.
While you practice the
entire above, share this knowledge with the people you love, people you
school with, people you play with, people you work with and people you
live with.
Not only will it enrich
YOUR life, but also that of those around you.
