Each person’s life is different. One’s approach to life also changes accordingly. However, in general, the attitude towards life- or what can be called the basic principles of life- is the same. Some people speak in a complicated way and hide many things. A sense of mystery is mixed into everything they do. People usually do not like such individuals.
There are also people who please others in order to achieve their own goals. They act in ways that make others happy, gain their favor and then achieve what they want. Excessive praise and flattery are characteristics of such people.
Those who speak and behave openly and honestly are generally more accepted. Therefore, one of the basic rules of life is to be transparent and behave without artificiality. Another is to accept and respect oneself. While self-criticism and self-evaluation are good, one should not devalue oneself. Understanding one’s mistakes and accepting faults is good, but seeing oneself as worthless is not desirable. That is not humility; often it is inferiority complex.
There are people who always expect others to be with them in everything. But that is not practical. One should prepare the mind to be alone. Learn to do things independently. Live with the understanding that being alone or staying alone is not a weakness.
What often prevents a person from admitting mistakes is ego- the feeling of “I.” Because of this sense of “I,” responsibility for one’s mistakes is often shifted onto others. This is not the right approach. Accepting and admitting one’s own mistakes is something only those with a big heart can do.
Be willing to listen to others. Today, many people are more interested in talking about themselves than listening to others. Those who are willing to listen will also be listened to by others.
In short, the basic principles of life are these: be transparent, love yourself, love solitude, accept mistakes and be willing to listen.
