Notes

Experience is what you get when you didn’t get what you wanted

Foster creativity amongst friends/peers

Don’t complain, just work harder

Stop worrying about what other people think

Watch people’s actions, not their words

Write hand written thank you notes

No job is beneath you

Don’t be afraid to ask for what you want

Cherish the memories you have with your family because they will all be gone someday
