1. Being optimistic can go a long way.
Even in the worst of times, not giving up. Facing problems and determination to change will bring a solution. So don’t give up, don’t be gloomy. Think of the victory beyond the trials.
2. Have a principle, a stand, an issue you believe in but have room for correction.
You should have a stand on things based on the knowledge you have received. But if you are a lifelong student, you should correct your beliefs when you realize that your stand once was wrong.
3. Choose your morning and your friends.
If you associate your thoughts and actions with constructive critics and constructive people, you will become a better person every time. Your character and life will seem to be of your friends.
4. Know what you want to be and what you want to do and start.
The way you choose to start at a young age is shaping you day by day, it will increase your chances of continuing. You can’t easily be defeated by those who say it’s not possible, at your age you will be successful and influential. If you don’t build your own vision, others will hire you to build theirs.
5. Teaming up with other great people.
When you work with great people, they reveal things you didn’t know, they open up opportunities for you to meet people you can’t meet, and they push you further.
6. Don’t say you’re high in an instant.
Don’t expect to be rich, powerful, or successful immediately after leaving school. Even if you have a higher education, you need a lot of experience to be successful.
7. Learn to blame your mistakes not others.
If we make mistakes not to regret but to learn from them, we will never make them again.
8. The best school is not college but life.
No matter how many books you read, exams you take and pass, they don’t make you as qualified as you learn in life. Jobs and bosses will teach you, make you qualified.
9. Life is not always fair.
In the journey of life you will hit and fall. Life is a challenge, like a game, get up and keep moving until you succeed.
10. Success requires patience and hard work. There is no permanent success that comes with shortcuts.
11. Have self respect, be proud of who you are.
Each of us is different, so don’t feel inferior by comparing yourself to others. There is a talent in you that is not in others, so find it, embrace it, focus on it, develop it, believe in yourself. That’s how you succeed.
12. Don’t drive yourself crazy.
The vision of being successful and great is worth admiring, but if you go up today, you may face going down tomorrow. Your going up is the result of many things, so don’t think of yourself as untouchable and special.
13. “If you are born poor, it is not your fault; but if you are going to die poor, it is your fault”.
