1. Remember why you started in the first place. Frame your 'why' and ensure it is etched in the annals of your soul. When life gets tough and tight, look at the frame and remember why you are in the race in the first place.
2. Remember the moments that forged you into who you are today. Those scratching nights, those leeches that disguised as friends, those days that had 240 long bitter hours in them. Remember that it was for those moments that you were knocked into shape.
3. Remember family at all times. And family is not just blood, but those who hard times and life have revealed as your family. Remember them. You won't always be a messiah, but be there for family.
4. Remember to make the world better than you met it. In your pursuit for fortune and a good life, be a source of good to people. Remember to leave a smile when heaviness lurked around you. Remember to be the answer to the prayers of others. Do this at your own level.
5. Remember not to sweat the small stuff, because they are all stuff when all is said and done. Remember to give priority to the things that truly matter, that really counts. In the final analysis, you don't want to be 80 years old, and wonder what you have spent all your life focusing on.
6. Remember those that caused you severe pain. Not because you want to nurture an eternal grudge in your heart against them, but because you want to be wiser going forward. Remember to forgive those that severely hurt you, for to forgive is to liberate self, but don't forget their names. There are some hurts that is not worth revisiting. Never forget this.
7. Remember to always look out for yourself. Most people by nature, are inherently selfish, and will not always look out for you. They will look out for their interest first, they will pursue their goals first, and at times, might be vicious in how they go about it. It is not that they are bad people, it is just the way people are wired. Remember, it is in your best interest to always look out for yourself.
