I remember once in 2007 I was reading a book in self-development, there was a chapter about the characteristics of successful people and their uniqueness, as well as how to become one of them. It had a question that was “if you want to know what successful people do, then ask them how do they spend their free time and what do they do to enrich their time?”
I’m sure that you might be surprised of some people whom won’t tell you what they do, basically, they do have the right to do so. They know that they are in a world of unique people; therefore, no one of them wants to reveal his secrets. Trust me, you might find that they don’t have any secrets, nor a medicine to create their success. In fact, there are no secrets, but knowing what do you really want to become? and how to become that person whom you dream to become? And how long will it take? With some medicine of determination, persistence and challenge, also positive mind, you’ll reach what you want… So, do you know how to spend your free time?
By reading, going deep in your specialization for your future career; by exercising, developing your mind, expanding your horizon and absorption; by studies and other knowledge; by friends that enthuse your thoughts; by personal, expertise or practical career development training sessions; by communicating with relatives and asking about your love ones; by planning for your future; by surfing the web to gain benefit and entertainment.
Notice that I didn’t write negative things, it’s all positive, because we want to live by positive mentality, thoughts and actions.

But .. What would you do if you don't know what you want to become in the future?.. Or when you change your mind each time you see a person becoming "SOMEONE"
Well, Salsadadoo,
Personally, today I'm becoming someone whom I never thought of becoming, and when I say "never" I mean "never-ever".
Sometimes, you choose in life some things for yourself because you think that you know yourself best, and that you will choose the best for yourself. but to be honest with you, God is he who chooses for us. We plan, consult and take actions, but are we ever sure of the succession of the process?
No, we never are, but our faith helps us believe that if there was good in it, God will make it happen for us. and when it the process fails, then it's good, absolute good.
We're never the same, I'm today not the same person as I was 2 years back, and I won't be the same person 2 years ahead. People become different everyday, every week, every month, every year. Things that happen in our lives force us to change. so, it's not in our hands to stop change, but it's in our hands to change for better or for worse.
Set down in a quiet place, hold a pen and a paper, ask yourselves some questions.
- Why life?
- What is important in life?
- What am I good at?
- What am I bad at?
- What are my good and bad characteristics?
- Who are my loved ones?
- Who do I want to be?
You are the only one who has answers to these questions, look deep inside you and look for goals, motivations, inner-powers and so on.
Your life is the most valuable thing in life, when you lose it, you lose everything.
Make the best out of your life dear :)
awww.. Thanks a lot.. This reply makes me think of things I would never thought..Like I said before, your words are wonderful..
From France,
