It always pays off to focus on things that will make you feel proud. Remember this during every difficult decision you face.

Universities are fantastic places to gain knowledge on a subject, develop a personal network, explore your character and learn new techniques to approach problems. I do however believe that there is a strong argument for students who have an idea they are passionate about to just try and turn it into a reality. I fell into this category and I don't regret not going to University.

Success cannot be measured in wealth, fame or power, but by whether you have made a positive difference for others.

Follow your instincts and live with the consequences.

You shouldn’t blindly accept a leader’s advice. You’ve got to question leaders on occasion.

LEARN FROM FAILURE. If you are an entrepreneur and your first venture wasn't a success, welcome to the club.

If you have an idea that's going to make a big difference to people's lives, and other people are not doing it, you know, just say "screw it," do it and get on with it, and give it a go.
