Maddyson Shares His ’12 Rules for Life’

Streamer Ilya “Maddyson” Davydov has compiled and shared his list of “12 Rules for Life” on his personal Telegram channel.

Maddyson`s 12 Rules for Life:

  1. If something bothers you, discard it – be it things, people, or habits. Don`t hesitate.
  2. Don`t feel the need to explain yourself. Those who understand will, and others don`t need to.
  3. Money isn`t everything, but without it, other aspects become a performance of poverty.
  4. Train your body, as character alone isn`t always enough.
  5. If in doubt, act. Making a mistake is better than perpetual inaction.
  6. Don`t rely on motivation; stick to a schedule instead.
  7. Be useful, but don`t feel the need to be convenient. These are distinct concepts.
  8. If you`re tired, take a break, but never give up.
  9. Surround yourself with people who don`t hold you back. Let energy vampires drain each other.
  10. Learn to laugh at yourself, or others will do it for you.
  11. Sometimes silence is wiser than showcasing ignorance.
  12. You owe nothing to anyone, not even your past self.

In related news, Davydov recently announced his return to streaming on Twitch after a period on the Kick platform. He also mentioned plans to reduce regular video game streams, focusing only on major releases.
