When people are mean to you, win them over with kindness. If it doesn't work, you still win.

Don't ever let anyone turn your sky into a ceiling.

When you face challenges, ask yourself what is the lesson here? Focus on the lesson and don't complain about the test. Everything happens for a reason. Every person you meet, may teach you something - good or bad.

Tears are perhaps 1% water but 99% emotions. They contain hurt, pain, sorrow, disappointment, sadness… so cry sometimes and let go of the feelings welling in your heart. Crying won't necessarily solve your problems but it will make you feel better.

When a person really loves you, you can feel it. I'm not talking about the way YOU feel nor the way he/she feels towards you but the way he/she treats you. From their actions, you can feel their love.

Those who give up on their dreams shouldn't influence you to give up on yours.

Follow your passion. Help people along the way. Work very very hard and always come prepared.
