BEST ARTICLES: 20 ARTICLES THAT CAN CHANGE YOUR LIFE

Never leave that till tomorrow which you can do today.
Do you really think you’ll be successful if you simply copy other people’s habits? If that was the case, success was easy.
I never met a successful person until I was 24. I grew up in a working-class family—I was more around people who were the opposite.
The first successful person I met was an entrepreneur in his forties. When I started my first real business, he was one of my first clients. When I met him, he was slightly overweight, had more money than he could count, and was merry all the time.
But he also lost his wife, the love his life, a half decade before. We became friends. He told me that he never got over it. Even tough he experienced tragedy — he still had a positive outlook on life and did good things.
He truly cared about others. I have to be honest, my first business wasn’t great, but he still gave me a chance to do business with him.
He always said: “I just try to avoid being unsuccessful.” That is the number one thing I learned from him. He said that you should study what makes you unsuccessful, unhappy, broke, fat, stupid. Then, eliminate those things out of your life.
To this day, I still live by that advice. I like his concept of trying not to be unsuccessful. Because what is success? The second best definition that I’ve found comes from Bob Dylan, my favorite musician of all time.
“A man is a success if he gets up in the morning and gets to bed at night, and in between he does what he wants to do.”
– Bob Dylan
You’ve probably read articles that discuss the habits of successful people. The problem with those type of articles is that they give you conditional promises.
“Eat three eggs with bacon, wash your hair with soybeans, do ten push-ups, and do your daily affirmations, AT THE SAME TIME.”
We have to let go of the “if I do x, I’ll be successful or happy” way of thinking. It does exactly the opposite: You do what other people do. Live the way other people live. I might not know a lot about success, but I’m sure as hell that’s not success.
What follows is a list of things that we shouldn’t do. If you have one of these bad habits, don’t worry, no one’s perfect. If you have two bad habits, you should worry.
Do you have three or more? You might want to change — because one thing is sure: No one wants to be unsuccessful.

The fungi are usually filamentous, and their cell walls have  chitin.  The study of fungi is called  mycology , and fungal diseases are called  mycoses.  Two major groups of organisms make up the fungi.

Tips, Tricks, and Transitioning: A Practical Guide to Furthering Your Education Agriraghv Are you thinking about going back to school? As practitioners, we often have this in the back of our minds.

Most of us have to juggle our family lives, full-time employment, and any volunteer work; it is scary to think about adding school to the mix. Having been out of school for a few years, you wonder if you would be able to start over again. As a mature student, you would have a lot more to learn than just the curriculum. Not only will you have to teach yourself how to study again, but you’ll also face the challenges—technological, among others—of studying in the 21st century. There are many options available to suit your schedule, but you need to decide which one will
