Death in real sense is what dies inside us while we’re still alive. As long as our inner voice is alive, we’re alive. When we stop dreaming and achieving our dreams, something inside us dies a slow but certain death. So, one should always make sure that his or her conscience keeps ticking until one’s mortal remains are functional.
Life is too short to do everything on your own. That’s why it’s important to take notes from all the good bits done by the most successful people on the planet and adapt your life accordingly. We’re sure and certain that the life lessons being presented below will help you in making your life purposeful, and full of life!
1. JK Rowling’s Life Lesson that Needs to be Taken Serious!
“The fears that my parents had had for me, and that I had had for myself, had both come to pass, and by every usual standard, I was the biggest failure I knew. Now, I am not going to stand here and tell you that failure is fun. … You might never fail on the scale I did, but some failure in life is inevitable.”
The initial life struggles of JK Rowling are inspirational enough to make you work hard in life with the utmost optimism.
A firm belief in the fact that one day you’ll be recognized by the world for doing something wonderful should always be there. No matter how tough the going gets, you always have to get going!
2. Steve Jobs Giving Away the Key to Live a Purposeful Life
“Don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your inner voice. And most importantly, dare to follow your heart and intuition.”
Do what you love to do and you’ll never have to work for once in your life! This life lesson by the very famous personality, Steve Jobs, tells us to tread our paths, and not to be get trapped by life’s dogma. Though, it doesn’t imply that we shouldn’t get inspired by the lives of other great people.
3. A Valuable Life Lesson from Barack Obama
“There are certain core values that we should apply to everyone, regardless of what they look like or how they worship, or the station to which they are born. Societies work better when everybody has a voice. If there is a society that educates boys but not girls, I can understand the culture that it comes from, but I will insist-as somebody who has two daughters and a very strong-minded wife-that women are at the very least the equal of men which means that countries that sideline half of their population will be less successful than ones that get all the talent that is open to that country.”
The people’s favorite president, Barack Obama, tells us every human being on Earth irrespective of faith, culture, shape, color, etc. should have certain core social values.
Everybody in society should have a say in how a particular society is going to operate. The need of an hour is to impart such social values worldwide that don’t allow discrimination based on sex, caste, creed, color, etc.
4. This Martin Luther King Jr. Saying has the Power to Change Your Life
“The time is always right to do what is right.”
It simply yet beautifully implies that the right time to do the right thing is now. When you’re about to make things right, you should not wait for the right time or opportunity, then you may not be doing right at all. What’s right now will stay right till eternity!
5. Admiral William H. McRaven: Even the Smallest Deeds Matter in this World
“If you make your bed every morning, you will have accomplished the first task of the day. It will give you a small sense of pride, and it will encourage you to do another task and another and another. And by the end of the day, that one task completed, will have turned into many tasks completed.”
Sometimes we often feel too little of ourselves because there’s some task we are doing that holds no importance in our eyes. It’s not right to feel this way at all. In fact, every little deed you do matters in this world, right from making your bed to watering plants in your garden, or whatsoever.
When you accomplish a task, howsoever ordinary it may seem, it gives you a sense of pride and encourages you to take on and complete another task. With this attitude, you’ll have completed so many tasks in a single day that you’ll feel proud of yourself.
Final Thoughts
Whether we talk about millionaires or other successful people, each and every one of these people has a beautiful life history to share that’s jam-packed with inspiration.
So, you should by now be aware of the fact that if you want to go down as a successful person in history, your life is going to be full of struggles and those struggles will become an inspiration for the generations to come. There’s no shortcut to success, you have to get up and make your bed every day.
