Be ready to adapt and change course. Nothing is set in stone. It’s ok to learn new things and assess how closely they match your innate values and work ethics.
As you gain experience, you will grow as a person and therefore may have other aspirations from when you were young. Be agile, be ready to act and work hard while remaining humble. Never be afraid to ask for help and guidance. There are plenty of great people who genuinely want to help. When things get tough, notice how you feel and learn to manage such feelings and emotions.
If you could change one thing about the world, what would it be?
Be kind.
