By age 40, you should be smart enough to realize this: 1. Stay silent. Not everything needs to be said. 2. Silence is better than unnecessary drama. 3. If you find someone smarter than you, work with them, don't compete. Competition is a weakness. 4. The family you create is more important than the family you come from. 5. Your current job doesn't care about you. They only pay you enough to kill your dreams. 6. Free yourself from society's advice, most of them have no idea of what they're doing. 7. INFLUENCE Most people drift through life. They have no purpose, no direction, and zero intent. Learn their needs. Lead them. 8. It's better to have 1 friend who's; • Happy for you • Supports your win • Encourages your dreams Than a bunch of acquittance who are • Lazy • Self-centered • Jealous of your success 9. You'll be 10x happier if you forgive your parents and stop blaming them. 10. If you continue waiting for the "right time ”, you’ll waste your whole life and nothing will happen. 11. No one will ever come save you. Your life is 100% your responsibility. 12. Your inner circle should be more focused on money, success, and starting a family. 13. You don't need 100 self-help books. All you need is actions and self-discipline.
