Rauf's Useless Advice

You don't need an alarm clock.

Your body and your mind know when to wake up if you listen and speak to them.

Rule 1. Don't buy s**t.

Don't talk about what you will do in the future. Do what you need to now. Talking about it stops you from doing it.

It is always worth reinvestigating things. You are always changing and so is everything.

I have probably already said all the useful things I could have ever said.

P.S. Don't look at the word "said" too long it will look...wrong.

If it takes you too long to think of an engaging post, you have probably already burned the rice.

Don't waste time on the things that don't matter.

Consider the repercussions of the things you ask for before you ask.

Listen. Then ask the right questions.

You will never be "God". That is a good thing.

Solve yourself first. If you don't know who and what you are you have nothing to help society.

Stories are there to make you think. Not to make you copy the story.

If you give up one thing, make it resentment.

You shouldn't be listening to me. I know nothing.

You should be listening to yourself.

Yesterday was yesterday,
Today is today.

Always do your best.

No-one will care otherwise and more importantly neither will you.

Always do the best you can do.

Try not to get too familiar with the current situation. Things change all the time. You are changing also. Be familiar with change.

The more you push a point, the more you are pulled away from it.

Make your own decisions.

It is said that you should separate logic from emotion. This is really impossible.

Without putting an (emotional) value on something you can never "value" anything. So nothing is important. So you cannot derive a logical conclusion.

But you can certainly decide what you "value" and then be logical about it.

Never let opinion formulate your opinion. Think, instead.

Every physical pain and every mental pain reminds you of pain. "Pain" reminds you of how sad/hurt you have been. Those pains are not connected, but in your brain they will become connected.

You can choose how to deal with this.

Listen. Always listen. Listening beats speaking forever.

There is no "Truth".

Don't think a step ahead.

Think as many steps ahead as you can imagine. Think of a tree of possibility...And then keep thinking...

Then look back.

Your brain combines all of your senses into an important message.

If you want to make things interesting, sometimes focus on just one sense.

You don't have to belong. You never have to belong.

Working together is perhaps the best thing we deny ourselves without really thinking about it.

Whilst you are effectively sleep walking through the day the majority of your brain is keeping you alive.

Conscious thought accounts for a miniscule amount of "thought".

Use your conscious thoughts wisely.

Always re-think. Always imagine something different than how you saw everything before. Always.

Try to be better than you ever think you will need to be.
