1. Passion & Life Purpose — Most people tell you that you still have time, and even though you do, if you can figure out what you want now you will be able to focus the rest of your life on getting it. You don’t have to figure it all out, but you should know the direction you’re going.

2. Selling Yourself — This is what you will have to do in every job interview, in every date and every time you want anything. Learn about Charisma, Sales Techniques, Public Speaking, Communication, and Social Psychology.

3. Active Listening — Listening to others helps to develop your connection with them and make them feel appreciated and valuable. You can use this in friendships, love and business.

4. Letting Go — You will have a lot of bad moments in your life and make a ton of mistakes. If you learn to let go of everything that doesn’t empower you, you will bounce back much faster. You do not have to keep it with you.

5. Knowing Your Body — For example: How much sleep do you need to function at your best? Everyone has a different amount of sleep that they need to feel well-rested and perfectly awake. Know that you always need 7–9 hours; do not skip out on sleep unless you have to.
