Yes I mean it you will have to learn how to hurt people sometimes in your life journey.
someone said I quote:
“I don’t know the secret to success, but the secret to failure is trying to please everyone”.
You don’t need everyone to agree with you or even like you, is human nature to belong, to be like, to be respected and value.
But not at the expense of your time and happiness, other people can’t give you the validation that you seek, that has to come from insight.
At your 20th you must know what you want out of life and be willing to go for it, even if some of your friends and siblings don’t like your decision.
3. You need a library
To be successful you have to know a hundred of things most people don’t know and the best place to get such is inside books.
I know most people hate reading but you must be different, you must be different because you are what you read. If your body is a reflection of what you eat then your mind is a reflection of what you read and study.
Feed your body with good stuff your candy-like social media, reading has many benefits like boosting your imagination improving your communication skills keeping your brain sharp and it also allows you to learn about new things, and become a more knowledgeable person.

The mess is always something we all need to deal with, it can be a mess at work or mess at home, most often by not. This mess starts with small things plotted all over until you get a point where the mess becomes on organized skills and becomes too hard for you to handle.
Why some people take this to a completely different level and get upset about it, I am just asking you to free yourself from the mess that you are and start reorganizing yourself.
6. Don’t take anything for granted
We often don’t appreciate what we have until it is gone, that includes your health, your family opportunity, your job, the money you have, or think you will have tomorrow.
When you are young it seems that your parents will always be there, but they won’t you think you will have plenty of time to have with your old friends or spend time with your new ones, but you don’t, you will think the money will always be there to spend tomorrow you don’t.
Nothing in your life is guaranteed to be there tomorrow, including those you love and the opportunities that you are getting.
This is a hard life lesson to learn, the most important of all, life can change in an instant. So try and appreciate what you have and use it wisely so that your 30th won’t regret it.

If you are a lady don’t follow up fashion, if you do trends to be liked, If you do you are destroying yourself esteemed. If you are a man don’t join that gang in buying everything latest to be liked and respected by everyone.
10. Ask questions; there’s no shame in not knowing
