  1. No One Is Coming To Save You — You have to get your life on track on your own. It’s your responsibility, no one else’s.
  2. Talent Doesn’t Mean Much — It gives you a leg up, sure, but it doesn’t guarantee anything.
  3. Your Degree Does Not Matter As Much As You Think It Does — The skills you develop matter far more. Employers look at what you can do and only use the Degree as a general screening.
  4. There Is No “Love Forever After”Relationships are hard and they require a ton of work. If you are not willing to stick through it you will not make it as a couple.
  5. 99.999% Of People Do Not Care — Not because they hate you, but rather because everyone has their own stuff to deal with.
  6. Nothing Is Free — Everything in life comes at a price, and you have to pay it in advance to get what you want.
  7. You Will Die — Sorry, that is unavoidable. Get used to it because you never know when it might happen.
  8. 99% Of All People You Meet Are Fake — Their life on stage is far different than what goes on behind the scenes.
  9. No Fact Is Certain — Just because it rang true for someone else doesn’t mean it will be true for you. Both for the positive and negative things.
  10. You Cannot Have Everything You Want
