#LifeLesson #1
When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.
- Maya Angelou
Often we're judgemental about people we don't know well & too willing to make excuses for those who are close to us

#LifeLesson #2
Count your blessings. Always.
No matter what the situation, you are definitely much better off than many others in the world.
The fact that you're reading this on Twitter itself is evidence of this.
Never forget that!

#LifeLesson #3
Being trusting, kind, non judgemental may be touted as superpowers but they're exactly what may lead you to be in the cross-hairs of a conman
Not realizing that people totally without conscience exist can be a big trap
Q: Do you try to change yourself? Or not?

#LifeLesson #4
Be there for your friends at their lows: poor health, grief, job loss, legal trouble. Whatever be it. Even if you can't DO anything, just BE there
LifeLesson #4A
When you're the one who needs help, don't hesitate to ask. It doesn't make you smaller. Only human

#LifeLesson #5
Never ever cry over sunk costs. And not just in business.
You've already wasted time, money whatever. It may even be decades of your life or a whole lot of money.
Don't waste more of your life brooding over it. You are only compounding your losses.
Move on!

#LifeLesson #6
When you think anything nice about anyone: friend, family, waiter, whoever, tell them!
Very often we think it, even mention to another but neglect to tell that person
You may make their day, week & more!
I know there are compliments I've cherished for years

#LifeLesson #7
Cut your losses!
Simple. But not always easy to implement & not just in investing
Are they/it going to change? Your work, Your company, your boss, your friend or even your partner?
Is it acceptable to you if they don't?
If not, make the change. Cut your losses

#LifeLesson #8
Whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger
It may be unexpected bereavement & grief, betrayal by someone close, losing a job/ business, financial losses, but you're still alive, still standing
This too shall pass
There's always light at the end of the tunnel
