Travel!
If you’re 22, physically fit, hungry to learn and be better, I urge you to travel – as far and as widely as possible. Sleep on floors if you have to. Find out how other people live and eat and cook. Learn from them – wherever you go.

The manifestation of awesomeness
We do not hold the belief that this earth is a realm of misery where man is doomed to destruction. We do not think that tragedy is our natural fate and we do not live in chronic dread of disaster. We do not expect disaster until we have specific reason to expect it – and when we encounter it, we are free to fight it. It is not happiness, but suffering that we consider unnatural. It is not success, but calamity that we regard as the abnormal exception in human life.
Ragnar Danneskjöld from Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged
This mindet is the absolute manifestation of awesomeness.
Life is primarily good! Bad conditions are nothing normal, they are abnormal and have to be fought.

Profitable mistakes
The successful man will profit from his mistakes and try again in a different way.
Dale Carnegie
Trial & Error makes up a great part of our lifes. Do not be afraid of making mistakes, of failing.
Embrace mistakes, learn as much as possible from your failures. Use them as your advantage.
He who has done many mistakes knows many things to avoid.

Be prepared to be wrong
If you’re not prepared to be wrong, you’ll never come up with anything original.
Ken Robinson
Risks, take them.

Dare to dream
Dreams can change. If we’d all stuck with our first dream, the world would be overrun with Cowboys and Princesses. Stephen Colbert
Dream whatever you want.
Why feel bad if you do not dream the same stuff as some years ago? Dream whatever you want to dream right now and be okay with it!

Respect
Never trade respect for attention
You do not always have to be the loudest person, the center of attention.
Feel good being modest. Respect seldom growls out loudly, it is silent appreciation, it is people talking about you when you are not around.

Plans and Dreams
I may not have gone where I intended to go but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Think about this
You’re a kid, your whole life is awesome. It’s awesome, right? You had no money, no ID, no cell phone, no nothing, no keys to the house. You just ran outside into the woords. You weren’t scared of nothing.
I challenge you to do that as an adult. All your IDs, all your credit cards – just run out of the house with no phone, turn the corner where you can’t see your house, and not have a full on panic attack.

Success!
Success is neither magical nor mysterious. Success is the natural consequence of consistently applying the basic fundamentals.
Jim Rohn
There is no magic trick behind success.
Successful people work hard and consistent. They do not seek excuses but solutions. They do not work for money, they work in order to create value.
Working hard is the most essential key to success, there are no shortcuts!
The path to success is to take massive, determined action.
Tony Robbins
