1. Life is a game.

You should know that in life, sometimes you win and sometimes you lose. That’s just how it goes. So, if you're unhappy with how things are going, don't be afraid to reset and restart the game. Be a sport and play wisely.

2. No move is the wrong move.

Don’t be afraid to try out new things. If it’s out of your comfort zone, it means you’re being brave. Who cares if you make mistakes? You’ll never know if you’re the next Picasso if you’ve never painted before. Remember: Just keep moving. If you make a wrong turn, then just make another turn or a u-turn until you get to your destination. Staying idle gets you nowhere.

3. Mistakes will be forgotten.

Remember that time when you accidentally “liked” a picture of the person you’re stalking on Facebook? Does that person still care? Didn’t think so. Mistakes are forgotten and learned from. So, keep making them and be careful when you’re scrolling next time.

4. Filter what others say.

Listen to what people say, but don’t take everything in. You can’t just listen to what you want to hear and zone everyone else out; that’s selective bias. You don’t need to agree with their opinions either, but understanding where they’re coming from can give you a different perspective of the world.

5. Travel now before establishing a career.

The order of things is usually to find the career path as soon as you can; but, be aware that when you find the job you wouldn’t want to lose, it’ll be hard to travel. Earn money and travel while you’re young. Then, slave away for your entire life.

6. Money comes and goes.

Money is meant to be circulated amongst society. You earn; you buy. Don’t be too disheartened when your bank account has no number other than zeroes. Find a way to get money, and please learn how to budget.

7. Stop doubting yourself.

Believe in yourself that you are an expert at a young age. You know what you’re doing with your life because that is your life after all.
