Successful people are rarely night owls; they go to bed and wake up quite early. So this was the first habit I decided to take on. By the end of the first week, I noticed that I was able to do way more before noon than I could ever do during the whole day. One more week into the experiment I started waking up completely well-rested and excited to start a new day. Self-made successes swear by exercising every day for at least 30 minutes. After just 10 days, it already became a habit. I became more concentrated and calmer.

If meditating helps successful people stay on top of their game, it should help me out too. Networking is like currency for successful people.

A lot of successful people (like Steve Jobs, for instance) keep a super minimalistic approach to fashion, often wearing the same outfit every day. Truly smart and successful people control their expenses and don’t spend their money on useless things.

The human mind is a complex system and with some simple psychological tips you can control yourself, look more attractive, and even spend less money. These 7 psychological effects have the power to control a lot of your actions, but as long as you keep them in mind you can stand strong against them and use them for your own good.

Ask yourself from time to time, "Am I doing this simply to make somebody like or notice me or because it's what I really want?" And be honest!

Try to keep your mind clear and stay critical. Taking part in a questionnaire or survey doesn't automatically mean that you're supposed to give a positive review of the product just because somebody considered you an expert in this particular field.

The best way to get something off your brain is to always finish what you’ve started. If there's no way you can do that in real life, then do it in your head. Every time you buy something really expensive, try to be honest with yourself and ask, "Am I paying for the quality or the ‘ooh’s’ and ‘aah’s’ of people around me?"

Don't be afraid to look clumsy or do something stupid. In fact, this will only make you cuter and more relatable! These kinds of people seem more approachable than those who strut down the street like royalty.

Not nearly as many people as you think actually notice your mishaps because they’re all too busy worrying about themselves! If you have a coffee stain on your shirt or a big zit on your cheek, don't focus on it so much.

If you suddenly feel unwell in a public place and you need help ASAP, don't address the whole crowd by shouting “Help!” or “Call 911!” Choose one specific person. This way, you’ll have better chances at being heard and getting the help you need.

Knowing what to do in an emergency situation can help you survive yourself or save the lives of others. At one point or another, most of us have been taught the basic survival rules to follow when faced with a threat.

You might think that swimming in a river or lake is safer than taking a dip in the sea, but that's not exactly true. Fresh water is often colder and takes more energy and skill to get out of because it doesn't support your body like salt water does. If you find yourself caught in a river current, breathe deeply and swim in a diagonal line, that will eventually bring you to the shore. As for getting caught in a sea current, the first rule is the same: stay calm, don't panic, and don’t flail around. Simply cut across the current diagonally because it doesn't typically expand along the whole shoreline.

If you’re with your close ones when a fire starts, agree on a meeting place outside in case you get separated. When smoke starts filling the room, don't walk and don’t even think about going through a window or waiting it out. The best strategy is to stay low and crawl to the nearest exit as soon as possible.

There are different ways you can save yourself if you're choking, and there's nobody around to help you. Remember! Don't speak, don't drink anything, and don't inhale deeply.

If someone is suffering from hypothermia, cover the victim with warm blankets. Make sure that not only the body but also the head and feet are covered.

If you get lost in the woods, you can use your wristwatch to find your direction. Hold an analog watch horizontally in your hand and imagine a wedge-shaped piece marking the area between the hour hand and the number one. The center of this angle is the north-south line.
