What is truly a waste of your personaltime?)

Dean Yeong)

Comparing. Handsdown, the first one pop into my mind. I used to do this a lot, and still doingit some time. But as soon as I aware of it, I stop immediately. It makes nosense to compare yourself to someone else, to compare what you have with whatothers have. You can never get enough information about the other person tomake an absolute accurate comparison. And most of the time, you're evaluatingyour worst based on someone else's best.

Fear.

Trying to change someone else's mindor behavior. Peoplewill change when he or she want to change. There is nothing you can do if yourfriends don't want to go vegan; if your husband can't get rid of cigarettes; ifyour customer doesn't need your product.

Complaining. Ifyou don't like it, change it. If you can't change it, change yourself. Period.

Activities that harm your body. Dueto the second in the list, I'm not here to convince you to live healthily. Ijust want to let you know every activity - smoking, excessive drinking, lack ofsleep, drug addiction - that harm your body is wasting your personal time. Youare literally burning off your time when you do them.

Excuses. Youknow what you made a mistake, you can do it better, you know what you need todo. But you’re giving excuses to procrastinate; or making yourself busy withdistractions so you don’t need to face the real work. Eventually, you have toface it, don’t waste your time on excuses. Do the right work.

Not following your dreams. Youonly live once, make it counts. Your parents don't live your life, same goeswith your teacher, your friends, and your boss. Don't wait for instruction onwhat to do next just to fit in and feel secure. Buckle up, draw your own map andlive your own dream.
