* Learn how to cook Mushroom Risottos, but focus on delivering delectable meals.
* Learn the Python programming language, but focus on programming methodologies.
* Learn to give your introductory speech, but focus on communicating your message.

In other words:

Learn what you need for tomorrow; but, focus on what you can grasp for a lifetime.

Mon, 24 Mar 2008 09:38:11 -0000

Highlights and Sticky Notes:

5. Surround yourself with mentors.
One of the most important indicators of how good you will be at getting what you want in adult life is how strong your network of mentors is. One of the Mentors can be a wide range of people. Your parents count. Your friends count. And your parents’ friends count. But you need to start roping them in early. Mentor relationships require cultivation, and the earlier you start the more support you’ll have getting through your twenties.

2. Take some risks.

Ten Ways to Improve Your Quality of Life - Lifehack.org

Mon, 24 Mar 2008 09:32:54 -0000

Highlights and Sticky Notes:

Call it what you will but spend time each day alone with your thoughts. This surely isn’t the first time you’ve heard that advice, there’s a reason for that!

3. Make it a point to do something bold every day. Step out of your comfort zone, leave the routine even if for only a second. This might mean talking to someone that you generally wouldn’t talk to or starting a project that you feel intimidated by.

4. Learn something new. Pick a topic, preferably something you know nothing about and learn something about it. A good source of inspiration for this can be the newspaper or Wikipedia.

5. Debate something.

8. Recognize what makes you happy. Reflect on the parts of your day that bring you real satisfaction. Everyone is working towards something, but what makes you happy now? Rate your overall satisfaction with your quality of life for each day on a scale of 1 to 10, focus on the things that happened that pushed the number higher rather than what made it lower.

Examples? I’m just going to leave my dish here by the sink, I’ll wash it later (when you know your spouse will end up washing it). I’m bookmarking this article to read later (how often do you ever go back and read old bookmarked articles?). I’ll hang my shirt up later (when you know it will be there for a week before you touch it).

9. Stop broken thoughts.
