“A cheat sheet to happiness”

What is it, that makes life so appealing?
What role do ‘I’ play in this seemingly meaningless

life?

The answers to these questions can be answered in
detail with theories, but probably in a group of

people, no two answers will match exactly.

But there are quite a few things that most of us agree
Medwin Mirza with, and just knowing these can help us go through

2019-23 ece certain circumstances in life that are very troubling,

especially during the young years.
In this regard, I feel obliged to share with you, the most useful axioms, that I

have found to be quite important to remember throughout these days,

especially through college.

"We are a part of nature, and 'a part' can never be bigger than the whole" –

This might seem quite philosophical, yet it is also quite literal. No matter how
much we try to manipulate our surroundings and make decisions to change it

to be the way, we want it to be, there are matters we simply cannot control.

But in short, we must do our best and leave the rest. Your ambitions and hopes
may get fine-tuned based on your experiences, which is perfectly fine.

“Resisting temptations makes you stronger” –
One more fact to be aware of is that being nice always has its merits, there is

not one situation where acting rude will help you.

It is very easy to be rude and impolite. Just acting on your wild personal
impulses with no regard for the impression you may have on people, is very

easy. But what is hard, is being considerate and thoughtful. There is nothing

stronger and powerful than being able to get a hold of your own feelings and

behaving politely in any situation. It might be the professors, peers or juniors,
treating folks with respect makes you more powerful, regardless of your talent
