101 Really Important Things You Already Know, But Keep Forgetting



Mother's Day Gifts





Here's a book you can fall in love with just by reading the table of contents. It's entitled 101 Really Important Things You Already Know, But Keep Forgetting by Ernie

Zelinski
.

The table of contents listing those 101 things, plus a bonus of five more, is masterful, but so is each of the chapters expanding on each table of contents entry. If you are like most of us and have forgotten these lessons, I suspect you'll remember them after reading the book.

I flipped over the book because each lesson struck me as important and because reading the explanatory chapter convinced me in a persuasive and entertaining way that the lesson was important.

So first take a sample from the table of contents:

  • One true friend is worth more than 10,000 superficial ones.
  • Good deeds are seldom remembered; bad deeds are seldom forgotten.
  • The surest way to failure is trying to please everyone.
  • Your past is always going to be the way it was – so stop trying to change it.
  • A walk or run in nature is the best medicine for many of your ailments.
  • The shortcut to being truly fit and trim is long-term rigorous action.
  • Compromising your integrity for money, power, or fame will come back to haunt you.
  • If the grass on the other side of the fence is greener, try watering your side.
  • No matter how successful you become, the size of your funeral will still depend on the weather.
  • Be happy while you are alive because you are a long time dead.

I don't know about you, but I think those lessons of life are not only central to a good life but are also well stated. This Zelinski guy knows how to write prose that has the potential to become those old proverbs everyone repeats.

QUOTES FROM ERNIE ZELINSKI'S BOOKS



    When you need something tedious done, and don't have time for it, give it to a workaholic. This way, both of you will be happy.

    — from The Lazy Person's Guide to Success



    Know the moment when to work diligently. Even more important, know the moment when not to work, but to relax and play instead.

    This will not only benefit you immensely, but also will astonish your friends and competitors.

    — from Career Success Without a Real Job



    Most people are too busy working on insignificant projects and pursuing life's frivolities to tap their creative abilities. It's a mistake to be one of them. Striving for excellence where excellence doesn't matter is the stuff misfits are made of.

    — from The Lazy Person's Guide to Success



    The Lazy Achiever's Motto: Regardless of how little time and work someone takes to perform a task, there has to be a more efficient and effective way to perform it.

    — from The Lazy Person's Guide to Success



    You are fooling yourself whenever you think you are productive just because you have worked fourteen hours in a day. You will be truly productive when you do the same amount of work in four hours, and take the other ten hours to enjoy the good things life has to offer.
