You may find the advices a bit cliche, but sincerely practicing them would help you out inadvertently in your daily life.

1) Read books.

Many people find this boring, but as you get along with reading books, there’s no coming back. I’d suggest you, start with a genre of book you like, it can be an autobiography of your idol or it can be regarding spirituality or wisdom. pick your favorite genre at first and once you get a habit of reading try switching genres to experiment with your interests.

• Helps you to build your vocabulary.

2) Learn a musical instrument.

Learning a musical instrument is quite an interesting thing to be practised. There is a wide range of instruments available in the market, choose what suits you best, it can be drums, a guitar, a keyboard, a Cajon, a violin, tabla or you can also produce music on a computer using various softwares. Youtube is the best platform to learn musical instruments for free. Get an instrument and the rest is free.

3) Meditate.

Meditation is one of the most underrated things I’ve seen. People usually link meditation to a certain religion. Meditation is not linked to any religion, you don’t have to chant any mantras, it’s a combination of connection and awareness between you and your mind. One has to dedicate 10–15 minutes a day to meditate. If you want to learn what meditation is and how it should be practised, you can search for videos on youtube by Fittuber, Sandeep Maheshwari or Beerbiceps.

5) Make good friends

It’s all about the association you are with, what kind of friends you spend your time with, what content do you consume from them.

Friends play a major role in your life, they influence you, they direct you, they teach you, in short, they build you.

There is a famous ethological quote in Hinduism which states,

“लब मात्र साधु संग सब सिद्धि होय ।।”

which means even a fourteenth part of a second spent with the right association of people, changes your life.

You’re the average of your five closest friends. So be wise while choosing your friends.

Each advice is important, stop chasing academic success in life, it leads you nowhere, at the end what helps is your thinking ability, your leadership skills, your attitude and discipline. Sadly schools fail to teach these.
