Having rules or mantra in life is very important. Holding a certain principle will help you do the best in you and be motivated especially when hardship comes.
I'm always stuck with Einstein's quote : "A person who has never make a mistake has never tried something new".
- Don't be afraid of failure. You just found a way that didn't work.
- Make the most of of the day.
- Make myself proud.
- Don't count sheep instead count the blessings.
- Bless yourself as you become a blessing to others.
Those are the rules I am holding in my life.
