Practice English Conversation (Advice on life from my grandpa) Improve English Speaking Skills

hello father finally I could come here to  visit you sorry for not coming sooner as I  

promised don't worry son you look  happy to see me that's not very

common yeah I know what happens is that the  advice you gave me last time I was here it  

really worked for me I could solve my  problem and I want to thank you and I  

want to hear more I'm so happy you could solve  that problem so do you want to hear more life

advice yes that you have a lot  of experience since you are

old well maybe you're right soon I will leave this  

world and it's a great idea to pass on  my experience and knowledge to the Next

Generation so I will give you the best life  advice the number one is stop trying to feel  

happy you should try for happiness  but trying to feel happy is a losing

strategy the truth is you can't self-help  yourself into a perfect life and it's impossible  

for humans to to feel happy all the time  understanding that and instead taking conscious

actions actions that make your your  day-to-day life more joyful is the key to true

happiness what I mean is if you have to  try to be cool you will never be cool do  

you understand if you have to try to be  happy then you will never be happy people  

these days are just trying too hard it is  temporary always so live the moment those  

temporary moments other advice I want  you to know is don't make impossible

affirmations affirmations create belief traps  the standing in the mirror and saying I'm a  

gorgeous model will only make you feel more inner  turmoil because you won't believe the words you're

saying instead of affirmations straight up  to realistic beliefs that you can accept I  

look amazing for my age what I mean is do  not exaggerate you could think it makes  

you feel better but no being realistic is the  best option what else let go of your ego your  

ego tries to protect you from looking stupid  your ego will keep you from signing up for a  

dance class playing a sport or attending a trivia  night even when those things are good interesting  

and fun instead of listening to it all the time  learn when it's okay to let go of your ego and do  

something different learn to accept the essence  of something life isn't fair but it can still be

wonderful sometimes you simply can't have  something in life maybe you can't have

children your dream job didn't work out or your  relationship with your brother will never be

good instead of chasing something you can't  have accept that you can have the essence of

something people who can't have babies can  adopt people who don't have their dream

career can Pur their interest as  hobbies and people with prid family

bonds can make close connection with  friends instead but there is always a  

way to enjoy these things also you need to  understand what true freedom is it's very

important Freedom isn't having tons of money  or being able to travel all the time of course

not instead freedom is having a greated ability  to control your emotional state no matter  

what happens in life that's what Freedom really  means so the question for you is are you really

free be happy instead of right that's probably  some of the best advice I I can give you we  

talked about not trying to find happiness  that's true but it's also true that one way  

to guarantee more happiness in your life  involves choosing to be happy instead of

right you can try this the next time you're  arguing with your wife partner brother or friend

ask yourself would I rather be right  or happy that way the argument will end  

peacefully and something important this  doesn't mean you are being the bigger

person nor does it mean that you are allowing  yourself to be pushed around all it means is  

that you see that there is a better way not  every situation should lead to One winner  

and one Loser by taking this step you not  only preserve your own happiness but also  

the happiness of all involveed so decide to put  ego aside and try it what else live according to  

your values a lot of us don't always behave in  accordance with our values let me explain it to

you you can value honesty creativity Freedom

Ingenuity but if your beliefs actions and  lifestyle don't mirror your values you won't  

be satisfied with your life take a stock of your  life and see if it matches the values you hold  

dear if not it's time to make some changes  another thing whatever you do give it 100%

seriously whenever you find yourself  at work or in your personal life do  

the very best you can do to do something  mediocrity harms both our psychic and our

prospects it negatively impacts our  credibility lets people down and erodes our

self-esteem so give your work your old do it  with Excellence do it more efficiently make  

it more interesting interes in improve  it or automate it give care to even the  

smallest task you'll stand out if you do many  people today would rather be noticed than do  

something not worth it choose to do something  not worth it getting noticed will then be a

byproduct and one example of this is when  people want to learn English they do what's

necessary but that's all they just do what  they have to do but if you want better

results you should give 100%  of your effort to obtain better

results I hope these life tips are useful  to you son soon I will no longer be here
