It's never too late to follow your dreams. you have a chance to make them come true as long as your alive.
Don't wait til your old to start smartening up.
Read as much as possible. You don't know as much as you think you know. You can never know too much.
Never rely on other people. Count on yourself because sometimes, all you will have is yourself.
Always prepare yourself for anything. Don't ever think that you are immune from hardships or tragedy or the realities of life.
In times of failure, let out your feelings and use that to motivate yourself to go harder. Never give up especially with life.
Life is a journey. Every time a door closes, another one opens.
Watch your mouth. Sometimes, it's best to keep your thoughts and words to yourself. They can be used against you. They can block your blessings. Basically, don't say anything to somebody else that you wouldn't want said to you. Some things you say can't be unsaid.
And NEVER take anybody or anything for granted.
