25. Save your time
Time is our most valuable resource. Try not to waste it in vain, sit less in social networks and in front of the TV, because you cannot return the time spent back.

24. Do not postpone life for later
Live so that you will have something to remember later. Do what you love and spend time with those you love. You will get nothing for the fact that you have endured the company of unpleasant people all your life.

23. Think before you speak
Words can hurt, so always choose them carefully.

22. Think before you act
It is better to spend a little time thinking about your actions than to regret them later.

21. Give up alcohol
Alcohol clouds the mind and is not necessary in order to have a good time.

20. Listen to your parents
Their advice wasn't so bad.

19. Start a hobby
Hobbies and hobbies are the basis of longevity and prosperity.

18. Save money
Save a little every week or month. Financial stability will allow you to worry less.

17. Always learn something new
Constantly learn something new, such as reading books or listening to podcasts. By reading for an hour a day, in seven years you will become a leading expert in your chosen field (whatever your initial level of knowledge). Of course, this requires diligence and consistency, but over time it will become a habit.

16. Don't follow the majority
If everyone is doing one thing, do something else. After all, it is much easier to reach the top and become successful when you have fewer competitors. Be bold, take risks, and look for new opportunities. Share your ideas and listen to other people's opinions.

15. Practice
It is believed that it takes 10,000 hours of practice to achieve mastery in some area. But even better, spend 1,000 hours on 10 different items: so you will have knowledge in several areas at once. And this will open the way to new opportunities.

14. Compete with those who are better than you
You can learn a lot from them and apply the tricks they use in your own practice. You can miss this chance if you always compete only with beginners.

13. Give yourself less time
Consciously give yourself less time to complete a project. So you will have to be creative and look for new ways to solve problems.

12. Set goals for yourself
By writing down our goals, we significantly increase the likelihood of achieving them. Write down short-term and long-term goals and track your progress: it will inspire you to move on.

11. Meet people
Take the first step. Connect with new people. Do not be afraid to ask for advice, even from those who have already achieved fame and success. If you don't ask, you'll never know.

10. Travel
Travel enriches our lives, expands our horizons, introduces us to new traditions and cultures, and helps us better understand other people. And to feel the atmosphere of the country, do not stay in large hotels (beaches and pools around the world are the same).

9. Constantly improve
Every day, try to improve in some area. It is not necessary to change dramatically, it is enough to get at least 1% better every day. So over time, you will achieve significant results. The main thing — do not expect that everything will work out by itself. To get better, you need to make an effort. No one has ever succeeded by sitting back.

8. Keep track of who you trust
Office intrigues have not been canceled yet. Joining the "wrong" groups at work can easily ruin your career.

7. Find a mentor
It is very important to find the right mentor who can advise you on what to focus on and what to avoid.

6. Do not value earnings more than the opportunity to learn new things
At the beginning of a career, it is important to gain experience in your field, develop the necessary skills and learn new things. This will definitely pay off in the future.

5. Don't choose one area of activity too early
Explore different areas and give yourself the opportunity to accidentally discover what you have a soul for.

4. Don't wait for a good chance
Don't expect your knowledge and experience to attract the right people to you. Instead, make your own contacts and look for new opportunities.

3. Learn foreign languages
Knowing one language is good, of course, but learning a foreign language not only allows us to communicate with new people and expand our horizons, but also makes us smarter (due to the fact that new neural pathways are formed in the brain).

2. Don't work overtime
Appreciate your free time and do not stay up late at work. This will not help you win the favor of your colleagues, and you will only regret that you do not have time to do anything other than work.

1. Believe in yourself
Often we are limited only by a lack of self-belief. Everything around us was created by people just like us. So believe in yourself, dream, create and change the world.
