These are all the things I've learned all my life up until now.
- Not everyone is a good person. Some people actually want to see you fail. Stop oversharing. These nasty people will use it against you.
- Don't let love blind your eyes, red flags are real.
- if something feels wrong, it likely is.
- Do not spend like there’s no tomorrow. Tomorrow will come and it won’t be pretty.
- Money doesn’t exist until the deposit hits your bank account and business promises mean nothing until legal documents are signed.
- Don't tell people if you have money.
- Don't ever lend money to friends. Either give them money or don't.
- Never develop bad habits, because once it's settled, changing them would be hard.
- Focus on doing things right instead doing it hard, otherwise you would waste a lot of your energy and time (work smart first, then hit it hard).
- Hard work is an absurd concept, it cannot be measured, while PRODUCTIVITY can be measured.
- Don't rely on experience alone if you want to learn something (especially in career), learn actively (read books).
- A good physique is really a good investment.
- People care about how you look, so start to take care about your appearance.
Edit: from u/LittleLayla9
- Do never show yourself available at all times to anyone. Always say you will check your schedule, or try postponing something a little ahead than what was proposed at first (ofc there are exceptions but you got what I mean) People tend to take your time as granted if you are always available and the day you aren't, you might see total ingratitude. Value your time and make people value it too.
Thank you for showing this much love!

- I would add that it's so important to enjoy and develop long term positive relationships with friends and family over time. And it's also important to cultivate great places and towns/cities that are joyful and have meaning for you. This kind of positivity and sharing regular hobbies can be so crucial to overall happiness (things like camping groups, beaches, going to favorite places for coffee or some live music with others etc.).
