Aurelian Skills: Life Empowerment Through Skills and Knowledge

Happiness is not a state of culmination but a gradual unending process. And just like any process, it has steps. Some life lessons that I have learnt so far: 1. Know and value yourself. 2. Differentiate between your needs and desires. 3. Work on your strengths and weaknesses alike. 4. Work hard and be content. 5. Surround yourself with cheerful, positive, and intelligent people. 6. Learn from everywhere. 7. Don't be afraid to fail. 8. Expect disappointments but give kind people a second chance. 9. Let people earn your trust and respect. 10. Be kind and spread joy and knowledge. 11. Let the past not dictate your future. 12. Always respond to situations instead of impulsively reacting to them. 13. Forgive people but don't let them walk all over you. 14. Don't expect people to stand for you when you need them. Be strong enough for yourself. 15. Remember, people lie and are selfish.

Conflict, Distance, and Feedback - the three effective testing tools. People who claim to be your friends are tested and exposed through: 1. Conflicts that you may have with them. They will unravel their true thoughts in conflicts. 2. Distance that is between you and them. Distance gives them freedom to harm you. 3. Feedback that you share with them. Their reactions to your feedback will show you what they truly feel about you. Be cautious and observe the people around you. You may add other such tools to the list.
