Key takeaways

• Be open to change. Challenge the status quo, embrace change, and move forward.
• Be accepting of teamwork as two heads are better than one. Being a team player opens you up to ideas and feedback you otherwise wouldn't have gotten.
• Whatever you do in life, you will encounter challenges. When you do, approach them with an open mind. Tackle them by asking yourself what you can do to accomplish them and do just that.
• A support system is invaluable; having this takes a lot of burden off you and eases your affairs. Find yours.
• Seek and take constructive criticism in good faith. Each correction should be seen as an opportunity to improve, grow and add to your body of knowledge.
• Think ahead and set contingency plans in place. Being diligent with planning saves a lot of time and guarantees a way out when you encounter a pitfall.
• Contribute to a cause bigger than you. Help people out in the little ways you can; it all matters.
• Show gratitude at all times.

Quotes

“I am okay with the change and not keeping things status quo.”

“...Embrace the change and see where it goes…If you don’t try it, you never know what’s going to happen.”

“...Love questions and knowledge that people have…good or bad because you don't know what you don't know.”
