And I think it pays to stay in contact with family, friends, aquaintances - be it physically or in writing. It's good against loneliness and depression as it clears your mind.

I. Read every day. II. Set and accomplish goals every day. III. Limit your daily investment in time on social media. IV. Tidy up and organize your personal space(s) every day. V. Live in the moment: every day is a gift. VI. Volunteer your time and give something back to others every day. VII. Take daily exercise. VIII. Get adequate daily rest. BONUS: Keep a daily Journal/Diary as an aid to gaining perspective. - Thanks very much for the wonderful advice, Ash!

Hey Ash, thank you for the great advice. Sometimes we need to be reminded of good habits and how important they are.

Ash that may be the best video you’ve ever done. Concise, on-point and inspiring. Makes me want to go clean my car! ( however I got over that pretty quick.lol)

I tried reading three books at the same time once, it nearly broke my brain. But I read a lot of science books so they aren't always easy to digest. I'm currently reading sir Ranulph Fiennes autobiography, it's nice to get to know more about someone who has never wasted a minute of his life.

Excellent advice! Thanks for sharing!

What's reassuring is that I do maintain the majority of the guide already.. The fitness side, I could certainly do more of. I am sure many of us will agree. Since working from home, entirely agree with you about keeping focused by moving the clutter. Of course, another habit I have recently taken up and found rewarding is enjoying The Chaps Guide. Marvelous videos Ash. More power to you and thank you.

Great video as always Ash. I have a couple of quotes I always live by that are worth sharing. The first is "you have two ears and one mouth, use them in that proportion". In other words listen more than you speak and I find this useful in meetings. The second and linked quote is "when you speak you're normally repeating something you already know, but when you listen you might learn something new". Very similar to the first quote but I still like it. Finally my other life tip that I tell myself and my children is "try no matter what". If you don't try then you've already failed. But if you do try you may succeed. If you don't succeed then you've learnt what not to do next time. So trying is a way of getting better to finally succeed. The most successful people in the world have failed, but have kept trying and through practice and determination they finally succeed. However we only really ever see the successes.

Another great show and one i am going to watch again and again. Such sound advice must not be forgotten. I know i have a tendency to forget just how fortunate i really am. We must remember to appreciate our lives and strive to get even better. Thanks Ash. William, from Dublin, Ohio

Really great advice. Thanks Ash.

Another excellent video, well done 👍

God Bless you 👍

I came to this late but thankyou for several good reminders.

Watched this show for the second time and enjoyed it even more. It makes me me think and think and think. Thanks, Ash, for the insight.

Very nice video Ash. Very informative for the gentleman who cares about how he can better himself.

Another great chat. But I have to say, I love the backdrop used today.

Great video Ash. I have always been an avid reader. History mostly. I have written quite a few papers and articles that have been published on the history of the backcountry during the American Revolution. I'm with you on the exercise as well although I've been slacking on that for a while and need to get back at it. Cheers Ron

Very inspiring Ash. Ta !

This may very well be the best video you have posted to date in my personal opinion. Wonderful job!

Great video Ash. Sound advice. I read meditations in the late 80s as a young marine in Northern Ireland, the book has been part of my life since and put my tours there into perspective. Personally now as an older chap I don’t do any social media as I believe it to be false and have still been able to carve a corporate career without linkedin! Keep up the good work.

On this side of the pond we throw out how ya doin' without a thought or expecting an answer. One time a grumpy old guy I was buying a newspaper from gave an aggressive "LOUSY!" I pulled the paper down, looked at him for the first time and threw back "GOOD!" And you know what? He thanked me! He had been LOUSY! all day and I was the first person to actually interact with him. Thanks for the good advice. I've tried journaling but I have such ugly handwriting -- even with a fountain pen -- that I never want to review what I wrote. I suppose the simple act of getting it down is not without value but evaluating follow-up on intentions and resolutions would amp things up.

BPM is right - definitely one of the best! As an avid reader I'd say that fiction is also a rich source of knowledge; great for vocabulary and gaining insight into other people's culture and experiences. Something I've discovered through years of teaching is the importance of "play"; whether it's word games, cards or chess - it's a form of relaxation that engages a part of the mind that nothing else quite touches. Sorry for the lengthy reply - my good lady's away for the week and I'm missing the company and the occasional reminder to put my socks in the laundry basket...

Just found your channel. Great content Sir!

Ash I to worked in law enforcement for 30 years. Now that I have retired I need to find something to read other than criminal justice laws etc. I would like to venture out to some other subject matter. If you have some suggestions of good or interesting reads I would like no. Great video 🙏

Learn how to learn, learn how to structure your knowledge, and first and foremost, learn how to think, I guess. At the end, being able to properly read, write and calculate basic math will get you far
