What is your piece of advice in life?

It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. That is not weakness, that is life.”

• important statesman, Jean-Luc Picard

Academic qualification only determines opportunities, not success

Try to take courses when you are younger. When one is older, usually the person does not have enough energy to upgrade. Also be polite and treat the cleaning aunties well.

Never let your employer know about your mental health condition

Everything passes eventually. Savour the successes, and don’t be pulled down by the setbacks; none of them are permanent. We will all die one day so don’t make too much out of either one. Be at peace with yourself and each day you feel privileged for experiencing life consciously is the whole point of being alive.

Drink more water and less bbt. Unsweetened drink is not tasted that bad (unless it's badly made)

There are people in this world that you'll never be able to get along with or they'll dislike you no matter how nice of a person you think you are, and that's okay. Put in the time and effort on people that matter instead.

Don’t overshare your personal stuff. It could be used against you.

We should prioritize in learning more first before earning more. I always do stuff that peeps dont want to do, and it paid off.

Do or do not, trying is seldom good enough.

Kindness goes a long way.

Get the mrt card that shows your balance when you tap.

find humour in every difficulty you come across. i think this helped me a lot in my career. there will always be hard days. it gets easier if we joke about it.

I have been through a lot of hardships and i believe many have gone through it too. So a piece of advice or a quote i would tell to my younger self or anyone is that:

“Life is like coffee. By default, it is bitter. But you choose how sweet you want it to be. And if you dont mind the bitterness, then enjoy every sip of it.”

Enjoy yourself, it’s later than you think. (Within reasonable limits, of course)

first thing first.. you are loyal only to your profession, not to your company nor your job.

also, plan ahead. how old are you now? make sure you mark your achievements and plans every 5 years ahead..e.g. if you are 24, what do you see yourself when you are 25, 30, 35, 40, 45.... 70 etc?

always ask yourself this question; whatever you are doing now? does it benefit you in the long run? or is it a short-term/instant gratification?

Focus on what’s within your control and don’t be upset over things that aren’t.

In the end it will be OK

And if it’s not OK, it’s not the end

My teacher told our class that everyday is a good day until you do something stupid. This happened in secondary school when some people were doing stupid stuff lmao

Never compare your life with your peers. Traverse life on your own pace.

To be successful, you need to fail so that you’ll learn. No successful person have ever not fail once in their life before they succeed.

Everyone has their battle. Do better and be better for them

What's good to know is hard to learn.

Was given this quote at the start of my career, kept me going during the initial hard years

Treat everyone with respect even the cleaning aunties.

My first boss told me: Never assume. Or it’ll make an ass of u and me

Do what makes you happy.

Life should be more than just chasing the higher paycheck or ensuring you squirrel enough to retire early. Push yourself too much in pursuit of those and your health may suffer so even when you become asset rich, you may not have the health to enjoy it .

Money is important but it’s not everything. You can’t bring and spend the money when we die. Don’t be a slave to money. Also treasure your love ones and cherish them before it’s too late.

Life is short,Play hard.

Do not enjoy your life at early age. Save your money first and invest money in something that can generate revenue for you until you can retire at early age and enjoy more.

Pick your battles

Most times, grumpy ppl have issues we don’t know of.

Always find time to love yourself.

I was in toastmasters some years ago, as a newbie, I was fortunate enough to represent my club > area in contests. One of my seniors that trained me told me this, "When you take part, you need to aim and want to win. If not, don't take part"

Now this is different from being a sore loser. Because with the mentally to win, you will give it your best and take things seriously. And hence, put in the effort and time to make it happen. Of course when I eventually did not move to the next round, I accepted it and think what can be better the next year.

So this mentally applies to my life too. When I set out to do something, it usually is with a certain high degree of success rate.

I think it's important to get your surroundings as well as yourself into a positive state - meaning surround yourself with positive people, not the kind who are negative and jealous of everything you do.

Also, the only way to get better is to thoroughly analyze your mistakes. Make it a rule of life never to regret and never to look back. Regret is an appalling waste of energy, you can't build on it it's only good for wallowing in. Whatever decision you made in life, it probably seemed like the right decision at the time based on what you knew - if it turned out to be a bad decision then accept it and make a different choice.

Im not sure if this was an advice but i saw first hand on how favourism works, one who was late many times and many times poorly delivered tasks despite being a simple work against one who does his work diligently, never late once for his time at the unit. The former gotten to promote to cfc while the latter didnt.
