The Most Expensive School

The most expensive school is learning from your own mistakes. Okay, on my last post, I told that we should not be afraid of having mistakes. I still stand to that. We still need to be action-oriented and we should be avoiding the paralysis caused by too much analysis.

Take it this way. Do not learn everything before you start. Just begin with an end in mind. When it is clear to you what is the end goal, you will realize that there will be many different means or way to achieve that. To achieve it faster, seek lessons from experiences of others, especially from their mistakes.

The human exists for hundreds of thousands of years, and even more, it is highly probable that someone has been to the situations that you are about to get into in achieving your goals. Here are the things you can do to avoid the mistake of focusing only on learning from own experiences:

  1. Seek Mentor
    I have been to different fields in my profession and I have noticed that those who are truly successful are always willing to share. You just need to listen.
  2. Read Biographies
    It is inspiring to learn that other human beings have achieved so much than what we have accomplished. Look for people that have the result that you wanted. Follow them. Read their life stories and be inspired.
  3. Associate Yourself
    Engage yourself to the activities or events that will bring you closer to those people that have the result that you want to have. People always tend to fit in and by immersing yourself with them, you will be adjusting yourself with less effort and without you knowing.

Why Not Do It?

Would like to write a book? Then, why not do it?

Would like to start a business? Then, why not do it?

What holds us back in starting?

Perfection is the most common reason why we don’t start.

Growing up, especially in school, we were taught that we should avoid making mistakes or failing. But in reality, life is a series of mistakes. Thomas Edison, the inventor of light bulb failed 10,000 times. Imagine  how our nights will be very dark if he did not started inventing light bulb as he wanted to perfected it the first time? 

But if we dig deeper, it boils down to the idea that we should look good and always be right. We were being held back in starting as we get afraid that we might fail (against the idea of being right) and we are worrying that people may judge us (against the idea of  looking good). 

How to go about perfection: remember that failing is just part of the process. Think of this, green light on the streets does not turn on at the same time. Focus on the problem that is in front of you and look for ways on how to solve it. Avoid learning everything first, just go do it and just correct things a long the way.

How to Live Life to the Fullest

These 3Fs can guide you on how to live your life to the fullest.

  1. Family and Friends (Relationship)
  2. Fitness (Health)
  3. Freedom ( Passion and Profit)

You cannot truly live your life to the fullest if you will neglect one of the 3Fs.

Imagine, making money by doing what your are passionate about but you are not healthy and do not have energy to enjoy it. Would you still be happy? I remember a saying, “a healthy man has a thousand wish but a sick person has only one”.

What would you feel if you can do your passion profitably and you are at the top of your health but you are fighting with your family or friends or you cannot spend enough time with them? 

Remember, you do not have to choose one over the other, you can have them all.

Most of the lessons I have shared here came from the book: The Millionaire Fastlane.
