Whatever advice you were ever given, read somewhere or saw on an Instagram post, you can forget it. You will only receive advice if you are actually ready for it, the key factor in all of this always being... yourself. And better listen to yourself than anyone else.

A great way to tell if you are actually committing to whatever it is you are doing is to increase the stakes involved. As much as is needed to be properly invested. That way, you know you'll be focused on the task at hand...

If you wanna start something but you don't know what because you have too many and/or too vague ideas, just pick one. Pick the best one you can, but pick one. You may always change later, this is not necessarily a lifetime choice. But if you don't choose anything now, chances are you won't do anything either...

The saying usually goes — you can have one or the other. While it may sometimes be the case, there are numerous occasions where you could actually aim for both.

We clearly did not come up with this one, but it is very true. There are times when you don't quite know how to go forward, or lack some experience and/or knowledge. Keep going anyway: what you do may not be perfect, but done is always better than perfect...

For decades, the best slogan in the world came from one of the mightiest organisations in the world: IBM's "Think". This is what we, as infants, do all day every day: that is how we accumulate the knowledge required to know how to stand, walk, talk and manipulate objects. This is what we should keep on doing always, no matter where we are in life...

It's good to check yourself, i.e. make sure you never go overboard: these things happen when you start being successful. However, you should not second-guess yourself, which is the other extreme...
