Some are okay, others…not so much (like #51 ??? taxi-drivers are known the world over as one of the most crooked professions)
Amazing Article!!Keep up the good work :)
I like this. Thank you for sharing your ideas with the world. I will be sure to look upon these!
Why do I have to get up at 5am?!
Because there can’t be anything more healthy then early morning walk and fresh air full of oxygen… Besides it has been medically proven but if you take 3-4 glasses of water empty stomach early in morning at least 2 hours before breakfast, it has miraculous effects on your body… considering the fact that most of us do our breakfast at 7, it can be only 5.
So… get up at 5 am to drink water, and then eat brekfast at 7 am… yeah I got it -.-
And unplug you’re tv? is that a point to improve you’re life?
and then you tell us to sell our TV and avoid the news, this seems like some anti corporate hippi stuff and i’m just not buying it….
Don’t get me wrong tho, there were a lot of good points in there that works as a mindblower :=)

avoid the news??? so your key to a good life is ignorance to what is going on in the world?
Honestly, I don’t believe this. I have 2 rules to living a great life:
1) Be you.
2) See above.
And many of these rules seem to contradict my two…
I love waking up early. It’s so nice to just be able to relax and not have to rush getting ready for work.
