    The Black Books Guide To Life

    Bernard Black tips to a successful life.

    Time Management

    No second guessing

    Know when to do things your way

    Take some "me" time

    Be proud of consistency and longevity

    Realize not everyone sees the obvious, you may have to spell things out (especially if you work with the public)

    When frustrated, it's best to move along and help those that frustrate you see you may need time to yourself to calm down.

    Hygiene is very important

    Society may let you down. Reflect. Know everything is ok...

    Your complexity is what makes you a commodity.

    The ability to make others nervous is really very helpful to society. Trepidation may assist them to learn when they should act with more caution.

    Be selective with those you choose to spend your time with.

    Don't forget to reward yourself when it's appropriate and warranted.

    Be loyal. Defend your friends and loved ones at any cost.

    Be mindful.

    Thank you Dylan Moran.
