1. No matter how hard it gets in life, always wear a beautiful smile. But when you're truly hurt, and you feel like your tears are struggling to fall, please let them flow freely. Suppressing them only amplifies the burden of your pain.
2. Embrace kindness, and be friendly, but do not be nice or kind to the extent that you end up offending your creator just to please the creation, and do not compromise your privacy, morals, or principles for those who offer little or nothing to your personal growth, and ambitions.
3. Set goals and strive to achieve them, yet if one seems insurmountable, or too difficult to achieve, do not drown yourself in negative thoughts. Skip that goal, and redirect your efforts towards striving to achieve the next goal.
4. Show respect and politeness to all, regardless of their background, status or tribe, but when you feel like your respect is being dragged through the mud, and your politeness is constantly being taken for granted, then it's either you withdraw your respect, or you reveal your assertive side while maintaining grace.
5. Network, make new friends, and explore new places, but if your network, and the places you visit are not adding to your NETWORTH, or contributing to your personal growth and development, then you are networking with the wrong set of people and visiting the wrong places.
6. Your identity is a definition of what you think about yourself, and how you perceive yourself to be. The moment, you start allowing the opinions of others about you to affect how you see yourself, or diminish your true worth, then that is not your identity, it's your mediocrity, and lack of self-esteem.
