4. Never Give Up.
The only way you fail is if you give up.
That's why it's crucial to stay disciplined & committed.
There will always be times when you're unmotivated.
But the only person stopping you from winning is yourself.

5. Balancing Material & Spiritual Pursuits.
If you focus too much on work & ignore everything else…
Things get out of balance.
Always make time for:
• Family
• Hobbies
• Things that make you happy
These are the reasons you work hard in the first place.

Learn to flow with life & adapt to new surroundings.
It'll be the reason you find new opportunities.

Even though Steve Jobs was famous for being the CEO of Apple…
