3. Time is a great healer and a great killer. Anyone wasting time suffers a lot.
4. Following the rules and regulation which are followed by 99% average people is a huge blunder.
5. Not doing hard work and not taking calculated risk at early ages of your life make your life miserable.
6. Listening to the advice of parents, relatives and friends can distract your mind from choosing the right career for your life.

13. Rejection and failure help a person to reinvent his/her potentiality. So, rejection and failure are required to be successful. Steve Jobs is the best example for that.
14. You must have audacity of hope and courage to implement it. Suppose you had an outstanding Entrepreneurial idea and you didn’t use it.

24. Love your job, but don’t love your company, because your company may fire you at any time.
