I have been on the journey of self - development and self - improvement for some time now. I have learned the most important lessons that can only be learned better if experienced.
Be patient in your life
Things will come around if you're patient. Patience is the key to success and people who cannot afford to wait should not expect better results. Greatness takes time. Just remember it takes 13 hours to build a Toyota but 6 months to build a Rolls - Royce. So do the work and be patient.
Trust the process
Whatever is happening, whether good or bad, trust your life. It is not that we should blindly trust everything. We should work out what's in our control. If we can't work out what isn't, then leave it. People who can't trust the process of their lives cannot expect to excel in their lives.
Be optimistic but not overly optimistic
We must be optimistic in our lives. Optimism can turn any situation into an achievable one. However, being optimistic doesn't mean that we should be overconfident. Optimism is good, but over optimism isn't because that can easily ruin the chances of getting successful. It should be like "I can do it." and not "Oh, it is so easy; obviously I will do it."
Be kind and humble
One of the most common traits(特质) in people who succeeded is that they are all kind and humble. Nowadays, many people don't believe in these moral values. No matter what the trend becomes, nothing can beat the power of kindness. Kindness is the essence of our existence and if we sustain it, we can make huge impacts on the lives of other people.
