It is worth reading to better understand yourself and the world around you.

Every year I feel delighted with how much I have changed, how much I have learned and how little I know at the same time. It helps me to question what I used to think was irrefutable. And this is an occasion to reflect on how I became better and what contributed to this.

I am sure that in a few years I will remember today and be surprised at what I was thinking. Nevertheless, I want to highlight a number of things that I currently consider to be the truths of life.

1 -

Mental and physical health comes first. The rest is not that important.

2 -

Most of the clichés are much deeper than you might think. Review them.

3 -

Less is always more. Simplicity is almost always the answer to all questions.

4 -

5 -

Apart from scientific and social laws, it is you who determine the strength of the rules you create.

6 -

To be successful, you must be lucky, but luck can be worked out.

7 -

It all starts and ends in your head. The most important thing is your way of thinking.

8 -

The essence of happiness is not to be in high spirits all the time, but to be content with life.

9 -

Everyone is a hypocrite, but often it doesn't matter.

10 -

It's hard for people. But if you are kind, you can get the best out of even the worst.

People are capable of inspiring. The path taken by one person can be very difficult for another.

12 -

Perfection exists only in the minds of people. It is unreal. Imagine, create, improve.

14 -

Much of what seems real to us is the product of our collective imagination.

15 -

The accuracy of any science other than physics, chemistry, and biology is questionable.

16 -

However, the scientific method is still the most powerful weapon we have.

17 -

The essence of philosophy is not an understanding of life, but the clarity of thinking.

18 -

The beauty of art lies in its ability to take you beyond self-awareness.

19 -

The world's most successful companies have a lot in common with religions.

20 -

It's easy to criticize. The question is, are you capable of making a difference.

22 -

Difficulties are part of life. Learning to deal with difficulties with dignity is a reward in itself.
