  1. Ideas mean nothing. Zero. Execution is the only thing that matters. It’s not what you though about doing, it’s about what you did and how you did it.
  2. Never let anyone get comfortable disrespecting you.
  3. Be selfish with you time. Not everyone deserves it. People who do will value it more because they see the value in it.
  4. Every second spent comparing yourself with someone else is time wasted. Stop comparing yourself with others and create your own definition of success. If you’re not sure what success is for you just work on yourself and it will become clear.
  5. Smile often and at everyone. Smile so much people think you exist in a world of optimism and positivity. Because you do!
  6. Experiences are worth more than your realize, travel often and take risks. Money comes and goes.
  7. There’s a difference between being patient and wasting time.
  8. You spent your entire life inside your head, make it a nice place to be.
  9. You have to believe in yourself before anyone else will. Self belief leads to confidence.
  10. If you can’t find a good person, be one.
  11. Stay curious, question everything, if you want something, ask for it.
  12. The life you experience is simply a reflection of your mindset.
  13. Consistency is better than Intensity. For example when learning a language 20 minutes daily is far more beneficial that 2 hours studying one time per week.
  14. Master your emotions, a calm mind can weather every storm.
  15. Don’t be lazy, put the work in, you won’t grow without pushing yourself.
  16. You don’t lose, you learn and refuse to quit.
  17. There’s a difference between smart people and people who get good grades.
  18. Keep your standards high, don’t settle for something just because it’s easily available.
  19. Never expect back something you give.
  20. Accept people for who they are not who you want them to be.
  21. The best revenge is no revenge, more past it and forget about them.
