Just a friendly advice from a brother. Well, I am both a friend and brother. :-)
If you work at night, your system loses synch and everything becomes topsy
turvy. Many youngsters don't realize this but in the long run it will have
disastrous consequences.
If you want to work hard and smart I suggest go to bed early and get up early.
Not that it works for me since I mostly wake up late but this is the only
solution to putting in more hours of hard work.
In intellectual endeavors like what we people are upto it is very important
that the mind stays fresh. Or else we will be working hard and not smartly.
Again IWFM but YMMV. You are warned.
I make sure that whatever I work on tingles my bones and flesh and hopefully
also titillates my emotions. That way any amount of hard work will only be
pleasure for me.
I have developed a habit of doing some other work in lieu of the main work and
that is how I relax. This is the best way to relax as you get both work done.
Reduce talking to people. Helps save a great deal of mental and physical energy.
And of course stay away from women as much as possible. This is an advice for
students and bachelors of course. :-)
If you are a woman stay away from men. :-)
Ensure that you do yoga, swimming, jogging or something to keep your body
strong and healthy. Prayer and meditation also help a great deal.
If you fall sick, everyone who depends on you suffer, not only you.
TTTT the last time I fell sick was more than 10 months ago.
In order not to get mood swings or laziness I suggest yoga.
There are particular asanas that work for me. sirsasana,matsyasana and
padmasana come to mind. However they are very very difficult to do for non
vegetarians and people with untrained physique.
But it is only by controlling the body that you control the mind.
Now, don't start arguing about this or start a flame war. You know I am in no
mood to argue. :-)
Be serious about your work but be very very casual and humorous with the peole
you interact. Without humor no relationship, no work, no endeavor can succeed
beyond a point.
I can go on but I am no corporate or MBA guy!
Just a friend/brother.
love,
Girish
