Never take the responsibility that does not belong to you.

• One of the most common mistakes that people make is to take on the responsibility that does not belong to them. This can happen when we try to please others, avoid conflict, or feel guilty. However, this can lead to resentment, stress, and burnout. We need to learn to say no to the things that are not our responsibility, and focus on the things that are. This will help us to set healthy boundaries, respect ourselves, and respect others.

Never sell out and trust your instincts.

• Another mistake that people make is to sell out their values, dreams, or integrity for short-term gains or external validation. This can happen when we compromise our standards, follow the crowd, or fear failure. However, this can lead to regret, dissatisfaction, and loss of identity. We need to learn to trust our instincts, follow our passions, and stand up for what we believe in. This will help us to live authentically, creatively, and courageously.

Never take loved ones for granted.

• One of the most precious things that we have in life is our loved ones. They are the ones who support us, comfort us, and inspire us. However, sometimes we take them for granted, neglect them, or hurt them. This can happen when we get busy, distracted, or selfish. However, this can lead to loneliness, conflict, and estrangement. We need to learn to appreciate our loved ones, communicate with them, and cherish them. This will help us to build strong relationships, express gratitude, and spread love.

If you want to help yourself, find someone worth to serve.

• One of the most rewarding things that we can do in life is to help others. Helping others can enrich our lives, expand our horizons, and make a difference. However, sometimes we don't know how to help ourselves, or we don't find a meaningful way to serve others. This can happen when we lack direction, motivation, or purpose. However, this can lead to boredom, frustration, and emptiness. We need to learn to find someone worth to serve, whether it is a person, a cause, or a community. This will help us to develop our skills, grow our network, and find our mission.

It is only through an apprenticeship that one becomes a master.

• One of the most important things that we can do in life is to learn. Learning can improve our knowledge, abilities, and opportunities. However, sometimes we think that we know everything, or we stop learning after formal education. This can happen when we become arrogant, complacent, or lazy. However, this can lead to stagnation, ignorance, and obsolescence. We need to learn to embrace an apprenticeship mindset, where we seek mentors, feedback, and challenges. This will help us to become masters of our craft, our field, and our life.

Buy real estate, land, anything you can afford.

• One of the most practical things that we can do in life is to invest. Investing can increase our wealth, security, and freedom. However, sometimes we don't know how to invest, or we don't invest wisely. This can happen when we lack financial literacy, discipline, or strategy. However, this can lead to debt, poverty, and dependence. We need to learn to buy real estate, land, anything we can afford, as these are some of the most valuable and stable assets that we can own. This will help us to build our net worth, generate passive income, and achieve financial independence.

The less possessions you own, the happier and less burden you will have in your life.

• One of the most liberating things that we can do in life is to simplify. Simplifying can reduce our clutter, stress, and waste. However, sometimes we own too many possessions, or we attach too much value to them. This can happen when we succumb to consumerism, materialism, or greed. However, this can lead to anxiety, dissatisfaction, and environmental damage. We need to learn to own less possessions, and only keep the ones that serve us, delight us, or enrich us. This will help us to live more minimally, mindfully, and sustainably.

Life is often very ambiguous. Sometimes there isn't a right or wrong decision or choice. Things are not always completely clear. You may not get the answer, so you just have to wing it.

• One of the most realistic things that we can do in life is to accept ambiguity. Ambiguity can be a source of uncertainty, complexity, and diversity. However, sometimes we try to avoid ambiguity, or we seek absolute clarity. This can happen when we crave certainty, simplicity, or conformity. However, this can lead to rigidity, narrow-mindedness, and intolerance. We need to learn to accept ambiguity, and embrace the unknown, the complex, and the diverse. This will help us to be more flexible, open-minded, and inclusive.

Don't leave someone to teach them a lesson. Leave because you learned.

• One of the most difficult things that we can do in life is to leave someone. Leaving someone can be a source of pain, loss, and grief. However, sometimes we need to leave someone, or we are left by someone. This can happen when we face incompatibility, betrayal, or abuse. However, this can also be an opportunity for growth, healing, and closure. We need to learn to leave someone not to teach them a lesson, but because we learned ours. This will help us to move on, forgive, and grow.
