- 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.
