Success in one’s professional, family and community life depends, in my opinion, on the consistency and attention paid to five simple rules that are integrated into one’s daily routine.

And if physical and mental health are added to success, happiness soon becomes a companion that is close to you and that you rarely have to look for.
First we present the rules of success. Like the five fingers of a hand, of which the thumb is the unifying element, the main rule that unites the others is to know each other well. The index corresponds to knowing more precisely what you want to do with your life, while the middle finger represents the fact of going to the conquest of the feedback (it also happens that the middle finger points upwards as a sign of rejection of the feedback).
The other two fingers or rules are the little finger, which allows you to make the right choices or make the right decisions at key moments (my little finger tells me …), as well as the little finger, whose role is to know how to manage unpleasant emotions before brooding, anger and all those emotions that weaken our energy.
First of all it is important to understand that the first three rules, that is to know yourself, to give yourself life goals and to seek the feedbackcomplement each other in a natural way.
Knowing one’s talents, motivations and limits as a result of life experiences and appealing to the intelligence of the people of our environment, are the most useful ingredients for determining fully assumed life choices that may or may not correspond to the expectations of those around you. .
This is the key moment to decide the importance to be given to the balance between work and family and to the sharing of responsibilities at home. In terms of hockey, the first three rules represent the attacking line, but this line needs two great defenders to function well.
The first defender, or little finger, lets you know how to make the right choices in terms of behavior or decisions by constantly trying to fully understand your personal interest and avoiding dangers such as acting for immediate pleasure, stubbornness when you are wrong or wanting to please or give in. to the pressures of others.
A career can be destroyed by a bad decision, such as accepting a bribe … or a promotion can be denied by a failure to act for the well-being of the organization.
The second defender, the little finger, requires daily training and aims to identify all the manifestations of bad mood at the source and to deal with them as quickly as possible to stay calm, to make decisions for the right reasons, to keep the level of energy high, to avoid being guilty and saying that it is the fault of others, of the system or of prejudices, just to stay in the driver’s seat.
Making the right choices appeals to our ethics and values, while managing emotions clarifies our needs and fears.
The rules are simple, generally known and somewhat old, but they are not that easy to implement. Your success … and your happiness depend, in my opinion, on the quality and consistency we give to these five rules.
