6. Go with your instinct and believe in yourself

“One of the quickest ways to kill your motivation and confidence is to compare yourself to others. When you’re constantly comparing your progress (or lack thereof) to others, it’s easy to get discouraged”. 

8. Stay positive!

9. Don’t burn bridges

10. Be efficient with your time

“Sometimes all it takes is a fresh look at things to find an answer or solution. When faced with challenges, try not to think about the past because there’s nothing you can do about it now. Instead, focus on what you need to do now to get out of your current situation”.
