16 things I wish they taught me in school
Posted by Tim Gruber | Filed under career, inspiration
This is a useful list of 16 things you probably didn’t learn about in school.
A few of my favorites include:
The 80/20 rule.
The Pareto Principle – basically says that 80 percent of the value you will receive will come from 20 percent of your activities.
First, give value. Then, get value. Not the other way around.
If you want to increase the value you receive (money, love, kindness, opportunities etc.) you have to increase the value you give. Because over time you pretty much get what you give.
Be proactive. Not reactive.
Your attitude changes your reality.
But the thing that I’ve discovered the last few years is that if you change your attitude, you actually change your reality. When you for instance use a positive attitude instead of a negative one you start to see things and viewpoints that were invisible to you before.
