How many people are here by

accident? Don’t rush into a career choice.

How many people here wanted to do something

different in their lives but are still here?

Were you pressured by peers, family or had no

other choice in mind?

to do !?

Make the right Friends

I was a loner and a nerd in College (Take it from

me this habit takes very long to die, If not

addressed in due time)

Choose people who are clever, smarter and

kinder then you.

Everyday will be a learning experience.

Subconsciously you will start to get better and be

more challenged.

Try out different things

out.

Be Open Minded

Very relevant for the times we are living in.

When I was your age I thought I had figured out

everything and was always right in my mind.

As you age you know less.

Allow other people the space to figure things out

and make their own decisions.
