33 Great Ideas That Can Change Your Life

1. Work hard in silence and let your success make the noise:  When you build in silence, your haters don’t know what to attack. Don’t let your haters get a chance to attack you before you have done anything. Build in silence and shock them with your end results. Work hard in silence and let your success make the noise (Fearless Motivation).

2. Don’t dwell on past mistakes: Successful people make mistakes. Everyone makes mistakes. The key to being successful in life is not making the same mistake twice, learning and growing from mistakes, and becoming a better person because of them (Cynthia Bazin).

3. Don’t focus on what other people are doing: It’s great to be inspired by what other successful people are doing, but when you’re constantly comparing yourself to the next person and it’s bringing you down, it’s time to shift your mindset. Be inspired by others, but focus your mindset to only compete with the most important person: yourself (Cynthia Bazin).

4. Kindness is a secret weapon: Most people see kindness as a weakness. They confuse it with being passive or being a pushover. The truth is, people who view kindness as a negative are just insecure themselves. You can only be kind if you feel that you’re coming from a place of leverage. That’s why I see kindness as a massive advantage, not a passive trait. As I go through my own life, I’m realizing more and more how kindness is such a big part of the equation. Kindness builds emotional capital. Kindness always gets rewarded. Somebody is always watching. People take notice when you deploy kindness and at some point, your life will be affected because of it. People don’t get that kindness is the best business strategy (Gary Vaynerchuk).

5. Don’t worry about things they can’t control: Successful people realize that worrying gets you absolutely nowhere in life, especially if you can’t do anything about a situation. So turn your thoughts to action-based activities. Focus on things you can get done (Cynthia Bazin).

6. Strong people fall down but they don’t stay down. Strong people break but they don’t stay broken. They mend. They piece themselves back together and they come back stronger (Fearless Soul).

7. Stay True To Yourself: Don’t worry about what people think of you or about the way they try to make you feel. If people want to see you as a good person, they will. If they want to see you as a bad person, absolutely nothing you do will stop them. Ironically, the more you try to show them your good intentions, the more reason you give them to knock you down if they are committed to misunderstanding you. Keep your head up high and be confident in what you do (Najwa Zebian).

8. Never believe you are above or below anyone. Keep a humble spirit (Prince Ea).

9. Mistakes are painful, but as time goes by, they become a collection of experiences called “lessons” (Thinking Art).

10. You don’t really understand something unless you can explain it to your grandmother (Albert Einstein).

11. Make progress by failing early: Failure is inherent to the research process, and fear of failure can damage your productivity by inducing what is known as analysis paralysis — the inaction that comes from overthinking what needs to be done to achieve one’s goals. In my experience, analysis paralysis is hard to overcome when there is a lot at stake. To avoid this, design experiments that address small portions of your research question and give you space to fail early — if you’re wrong about a key assumption in your project design, you’ll want to know as soon as possible. An early failure is a successful failure because it allows you to recalibrate and quickly address the shortcomings of your project (Angel Santiago-Lopez).

12. Follow your heart, but take your brain with you (Thinking Art).

13. Learn to work harder on yourself than you do on your job. If you work hard on your job, you’ll make a living, if you work hard on yourself, you can make a fortune (Jim Rohn).

14. Work on your philosophy, work on your attitude, work on your personality, work on your language, work on the gift of communication, work on all your abilities and if you’ll start making those personal changes, I’m telling you, everything will change for you (Jim Rohn).

15. What you become is far more important than what you get. The important question to ask on the job is not, What am I getting? Instead, you should ask, What am I becoming? (Jim Rohn).

16. Take care of your body. It’s the only place you have to live (Jim Rohn).

17. Take advantage of every opportunity to practice your communication skills so that when important occasions arise, you will have the gift, the style, the sharpness, the clarity, and the emotions to affect other people (Jim Rohn).

18. Formal education will make you a living; self-education will make you a fortune (Jim Rohn).

19. If you are not willing to risk the unusual, you will have to settle for the ordinary (Jim Rohn).

20. Let others lead small lives, but not you. Let others argue over small things, but not you. Let others cry over small hurts, but not you. Let others leave their future in someone else’s hands, but not you (Jim Rohn).

21. Nothing matters more than your health: Healthy living is priceless. A lot of people sacrifice their health to get money, and then take the money to the hospital to fix the health. Many times, money cannot buy health, Steve Jobs, former CEO of Apple, for example. He had a lot of money and fame but he could not survive from pancreatic cancer. So, take care of your body every single day (Panda).

22. To solve any problem, here are three questions to ask yourself: First, what could I do? Second, what could I read? And third, who could I ask? (Jim Rohn) .

23. The challenge of leadership is to be strong, but not rude; be kind, but not weak; be bold, but not bully; be thoughtful, but not lazy; be humble, but not timid; be proud, but not arrogant; have humor, but without folly (Jim Rohn).

24. We must all suffer one of two things: the pain of discipline or the pain of regret or disappointment (Jim Rohn).

25. If you just communicate, you can get by. But if you communicate skillfully, you can work miracles (Jim Rohn).

26. Success is what you attract by the person you become (Jim Rohn).

27. Don’t wish it were easier, wish you were better. Don’t wish for fewer problems, wish for more skills. Don’t wish for less challenge, wish for more wisdom (Jim Rohn).

28. Failure is a stepping stone to success: Most people fear failure, but failure does not prevent success. Actually, failure can lead to success as long we learn from it. Failure is one of the keys to success because it teaches us more (Jim L. Smith).

29. I strongly believe the quote from one of the richest men in the world, Warren Buffett: “The best investment you can make, is an investment in yourself… The more you learn, the more you’ll earn.” How do we learn? We learn from BOTH good and bad, successful and unsuccessful people. Find out what good/successful people do, and then DO what they do. Also, find out what bad/unsuccessful people do, and then DO NOT do what they do. Take advantage of the Internet, Facebook, Youtube, books, videos, audios, movies, newspapers, seminars, etc. to learn, to grow every day (Panda).

30. Perfectionism is not always the best. Here are 5 reasons why: 1. You can get lost in the details. 2. You can have the limited room for creativity. 3. You can be seen as an executioner, not the manager. 4. You might not be adaptable enough. 5. You might not be growing fast (Great Big Minds).

31. A blend of persistence and passion (called Grit) is more important than IQ (Lisa Quast).

32. Invest in yourself: Skills are worth more than a good job, career, money, and even a reputation. Why? The world always needs people who can do something well. Be that person (Darius Foroux).

33. Five types of fake people you should keep a distance from: 1. The ones who think only people with power are worth respecting. 2. The ones who would do anything to get people to like them. 3. The ones who constantly seek for attention. 4. The ones who thrive on gossips. 5. The ones who bring people down (Danila)
