- Simplify your life
- Get away from noisy situations and circumstances
- Do what you like and not what the society or market tells you
- Enjoy what you do and don't force yourself in environments that cause you pain and are toxic for your mental state
- Keep around only a couple of genuine friends and the rest keep them as your acquaintances
- Always think where you were a couple of years ago and where you currently are; it helps you appreciate yourself even more
- Do not hesitate to ask for help; you never know from where it might come (trust me on that part...)- Some things just become clearer with time and practice. Be patient while learning soft skills in particular.
- Keep your list of obligations small. Give yourself a wide margin for play, experimentation and spontaneity. Good things happen when you can afford to follow your gut.
- Savings let you weather bad times and multiply the impact of your actions. They greatly reduce the cost of your decisions.
- You probably have a myopic view of the professional world, so don't make any rash decisions about your career. Take the time to try things and explore your options.
Practice slowly so that the correct motor patterns are ingrained. And perhaps equally importantly, execute "slowly", don't rush.
