good relationship with everyone even to
some people that try to lead you on the
wrong path, you don’t need to be over
powered by them. You must know what
are the things that is good for you but you
don’t need to argue or to fight with them

what is best with you and still keep good
relations with everyone you meet and you
talked to. We are all have the freedom to
tell what we think is the truth. Say what
your point is but do not be argumentative
by remaining to be calm in interactions
with others even if you consider a person
to be dull or ignorant. Listen to them. We

to listen. Everybody has a right to be
heard. Maybe the dull and ignorant

moments in their life and we must respect
them.

Stop comparing yourself to others, instead

Stick on your plan. Stay focus on your
career no matter how low it is. Being
passionate on your career exhibits the
hunger for new knowledge and continuous
learning. But we need to stay humble at
