Always be ready to learn, learn always and everyday.
Listen more. - React Less: Think before you take action, and never you make decisions in an angry mood. The less you react the better you can respond. Don't jump into conclusion or let your emotions overpower you. Discipline your emotions and your reactions to every person and every circumstance in your life. Discipline gives you power over them. The best lesson you can learn in life is to learn to be calm no matter the situation. React less, don't over celebrate, master calm in every situation.
- Observe more: the closer you observe the better you understand and the better you understand it, the better your decision. Pay attention to those you admire and those you feel are better than you. Observe more, pay close attention to the skills and habit you want to develop. Pay close attention to the teachings you want to master. Observe more, observe yourself, observe what works and doesn't work for you. Observe, evaluate and make changes where necessary.
