#3Hang out with the right people• The law of averages
• “You can”
• “Of course you can, why are you even asking?”
“Will you be my best man?”
“Yes, and”
“I’m working hard to make this happen”
“Choose her instead of me”
#4Take action
• Something is better than nothing
• Try again. And again.
• Ask for forgiveness, not permission
• Say yes
Belief
Action Result
#5Keep pushing
• Push your comfort zone. It sucks. But do it.
• Ask for more
• Your job won’t exist soon
#6Be grateful
• It’s our duty to become the best we can and help others
• You are living in the most fortunate time and place in history
• You are more privileged than millions of others
“Be the change you want to see
in the world.”- Mahatma Gandhi
