1 ) Don't invest yourself on anyone except for your parents. They are legally bound to you and are likely to bail you out in all shit situations. Nothing is concrete unless it's on paper and their names are on there. This is definitely true if you are the only child and have recently started being super nice to them on account of ' repenting ' years of being a pond scum of a teenager ( me )
2 ) Get rid of your ego. Nothing is by ' divine ' chance or ' luck '. Everything that happens in the world is a result of coincidence and/or logical sequence of events. Even if you are the best at what you do, there's always new talent around the corner and they will do anything to topple you off your throne. Do what you do because you love it not because you want the attention
3 ) Realise that you are not special and that you're going to die. Imagine the world five years after you're dead. Karl Bartos ( ex member of Kraftwerk ) said this in an interview and i've been trying to do it ever since i picked up this info. It's a Buddhist mantra and it really puts you in your place.
4 ) Life is business. Don't have a hissy fit if there's another ice cream store down your street that you know will be competition for your ice cream store. Send him broke, tactic him out of money. The world doesn't owe you anything and you don't owe it nothing either.
5) Get up early in the morning
6) Have people you look up to and imagine yourself as them. It doesn't matter if that person is someone famous or someone in your family. I have about 30 people i look up to and i keep on adding more to the list as the years go on.
