In the past 3 years, I have created 3 main rules to live by and have observed that these held true in most of the cases in my life.
There is no right or wrong, there is just a person's perspective or belief. You don't have to agree with it just aceept it and move on.
There is a limit to everything. Everyone has a different limit. Find yours and do NOT cross it.
The outcome of everything in life is mainly a result of 3 things:
Knowledge
Hardwork
Luck(People have different names for this, some call it Fate, Control Theory calls it Disturbance/Uncertainty in a System)
The total (K+H+L) will always be 1. So the best way to achieve things is to maximise the 2 parameters in our control i.e. Knowledge and Hardwork so that the effect of Luck will be minimal.
I recently learned that a similar concept exists in Control Theory called Robust Control. Look it up.
Do email me if you want to discuss about this in any way, i am open to all theories (Rule 1).
An important thing to remember is that whatever or wherever you are in life whether it be good or bad, its all an integration of your past.
Another topic that i often think about is the nature of advice, in the sense of it being circumstantial and subjective to the giver's experiences.
