8 Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

Forgiveness is something that can eliminate hate and anger, allowing you to be at peace with
yourself and with someone who has wronged you in some way. Your enemies expect you to hate
them back in return. When you forgive those who are your enemies this not only annoys them but it
also confuses them, because it is something completely unexpected that they are not prepared for.
Holding on to negative emotions like anger and hate will not harm your enemies. When you do this
the only one you are harming is yourself, and you are giving your enemies power over your life and
thoughts. Forgiveness is the key to taking back this power, and this will also frustrate and annoy
those who are against you.

When an enemy does something they are expecting a reaction from you, one that is negative and
that fuels the dispute instead of putting the conflict to rest. It takes more than one individual to
engage in an argument or other type of dispute. When you offer forgiveness and good will towards
your enemies this takes you out of the equation, and your enemies will not know how to respond to
this move. Instead of getting the expected outcome the simple act of forgiveness on your part
changes everything. You will leave those who are against you without any path forward because
your simple act removes all of their ammunition.

Forgiveness is something that is positive and it will help reset the entire relationship that you have
with those who consider themselves your enemy. Forgiveness can help you turn an enemy into a
friend.

3 Be the change you want to see in the world.

This means that we must set an example and make the right kind of changes in order to make
the world a beautiful place. In other words, if we want to see a change in a place we should be the
one do it first for ourselves.

So the answer to “being the change you want to see in the world” is Personal Responsibility.

This does not mean that if you change, others will automatically change. This message is for
everyone who complains that society or the people need to change. If each one of us started
changing ourselves or mending ourselves the whole society will change.

By taking Personal Responsibility for your impact upon the world, you create and become change.

As a man changes his own nature, so does the attitude of the world change towards him.
9 Live as if you were to die tomorrow, learn as if you were to live
forever.
Many people live every single day with so much regrets, depression and stress. They all forget to
live in fact.

Because living means enjoying life. Living means making every breath count. The saying is about
the importance of living today to the maximum, as if it were the last day on earth. Generally
speaking, people tend to appreciate the most the things that are rare or the things that they do not
have. If we don’t have tomorrow, then we tend to appreciate more today. I believe this is what the
saying is about.

Learn as if you will live forever.

It means learn everything that is meaningful to you. Learn those things that you find really important.
Things that enrich you. And don’t waste time learning things that are not worth remembering. What
you learn should have long lasting value for you. Help you become wiser over the years, help you
become the best version of yourself.
