Ever wanted to upgrade your life? These 5 tips are applicable right away, and if you stick to them in the long run, no doubt it's just a few short steps from here to Your Life 2.0.

#1 Exercise, eat healthy, wake up early.

“Use your health, even to the point of wearing it out. That is what it is for. Spend all you have before you die; do not outlive yourself.”

George Bernard Shaw

Exercising is one of the main important constants for a good life. It makes you stronger, healthier, confident, it makes you forget about your problems, it motivates you for work, makes you outrun yourself. Exercising is really important. Do it as much as you can, and associate it with an healthy diet.

Waking up early gives you more time to do what you want to do. By waking up early you'll spend less time doing nothing rather than something. Also, early in the morning is an appropriate moment to get some work done: it's quiet, calm, relaxing. Your ideal morning: wake up, go eat, exercise, shower, and then get some work done.

#2 Spend less.

“Beware of little expenses; a small leak will sink a great ship.”

Benjamin Franklin.

It's common knowledge that in our society, we need money to live. Having money issues is never a good thing, having more and more money can only be beneficial to you and your standard of living. So spend less, save more. A wise man once said: “The safe way to double your money is to fold it over once and put in your pocket.”. Follow this advice. It'll be really helpful. When you feel like buying something, ask yourself “do I really need this thing?”. If the answer is no (don't lie to yourself), then don't buy it. Allow yourself to buy just one useless thing you want a month, every 2 months is even better. The less you spend, the more you'll have. So spend as less as you can.

#3 Be entrepreneurial.

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from safe harbor. Catch the trade wind in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”

Mark Twain.

Build. Create. Imagine. Make. When you can't sleep at night, get up and do something. Your time is limited, do things, use all you have, make great things. Those are classic advices, but the fact they are classic is because they just are true. Most of classic advices are the most accurate ones, so follow them. It's easy to think “I have to do that, I should launch that project, and I have this idea too...”, but it's a less easy to stand up and say “I'm actually going to do that.”. You need to take your ambitions to the next level.

#4 Be Happy.

“I am an optimist. It doesn't seem to much us being anything else.”

Winston Churchill.

Just be. Don't think negative, always think positive. Don't judge each day by the harvest that you reap, but by the seeds you plant. At the end of the day, think to yourself that yesterday doesn't exist anymore, that today could have been better, and that tomorrow will be even better. You have to think positive, because thinking negative doesn't bring anything to the table, it is absolutely useless. So smile!

#5 Learn.

Learning is amazing. You can't live without knowledge, because people always ask you for your knowledge. It is an indispensable, valuable, and respectable resource that you need to grow always bigger and bigger. People will rely on your knowledge. The more you'll have knowledge, the more data you'll store in your brain, the more you'll be respected, trusted, and those are really important values in our society. Learn all the flags of the world, the capitals, a new language, other new languages, maths, science, geography, literacy. Get interested, you'll be interesting. Discover, learn, wonder, solve. Your brain is a storage unit with unlimited capacity. Use it, store, remember, learn.
