Hi friends,
I've been trying to define a set of rules in life for myself so that at the very least, I have a sense of direction in where I'm going at in life. This inspiration came from reading the summary of Jordan Peterson's 12 Rules For Life. Lately, I've been taking in a lot of advice from my dad about how to approach oneself in the working life. He's been giving me a lot of useful advice but here's the advice from him that sticks.
It essentially boils down to 3 rules.
- Strategic positioning
- Money now
- Money later
In every step in life, you'll always have to ask yourself these 3 questions. The journey of finding these answer will set you off on a path of meaningful pursuit.
In order to pursue towards a goal, we have to start somewhere. Figuring out where to start will help you answer rule #1.
Rules #2 and #3 are about money. Afterall, money is certainly not everything but everything needs money. Thus, it is impeccable to always think about money in present terms and in future terms. By doing so, it helps our brain to constantly think of ways to find opportunities to leverage on.
The separation of these two rules also gives a good sense of the power of moments in the now. To realize that all moments shall pass, it will embed a sense of urgency to do something in the moment before the later arrives.
The whole idea of these rules are about preparation. If I could summarize the rules, it would be:
To strategically positioning oneself in the now for the future.
Where are you positioning yourself?
Cheers friends.
