well, choosing to do the following few “simple” things will help to change your life. review your life. take time to go through your life and ask yourself, “if i do the same thing i do every day, will there be a change? if i want to change, where will my first step be?” make careful choices. choose exactly what you wish to get to live your life; describe and think what you really want. keep up with chances. find out about the possibilities and ways that can make you move toward your goals, write them down and see which one suits you most. get down to business. start working on your goals. people may bring you down; you may have difficulties; you will fail and want to give up. but the most important thing is never to give up. if you try these “simple” things, you will find that success is something for everyone, and you will finally become what you want to be. remember, success is more than what you hold in your hands; it is something from the heart.49. how many pieces of advice does the writer give on changing ones life?
