Here is some advice to help guide you on this this journey:
- Set ambitious goals and work hard to make them happen.
- Get help and advice from successful people- they can tell how they got there.
- Learn from your mistakes and move forward - you will learn more from your failures than you will from your successes.
- When you have a set back, view it as opportunity - pick yourself up and find a better place and a better way to proceed.
- Reinvent yourself regularly - things change, so should you.
- Give back after you get there - help others to achieve their goals too.
- Don't worry about whether you've got enough, worry about whether you have given enough.
- Take a good long vacation every year with the people you love! You need time away from work to make your work productive and meaningful.
This life is not a race to the finish. It's a journey to be enjoyed and savored. It's what you do in between that makes a difference. You will have many choices in life. You are not bound to any destiny. You get to choose how you will spend your time and how you will live your life. Make sure that you choose wisely.
