Want Some Advice ? by Mik

Keep your eyes and ears open, but your mouth shut until it matters.
You'll know when it matters.

Don't let anyone tell you that you can't do something, or that it can't be done.
Can't SUCKS !!
If it's wrong, then it's wrong - but can't ?? F !! can't !!
Find a way, unless it's wrong.

How will you know if it's wrong ?
Those you trust, who share that, same, passion - they'll tell you true.

Remember, those who love/care about you most will destroy your dreams.
They don't intend to do that, it's just a symptom of the caring AND lack of interest/understanding of what you're pursuing.
Be careful, because relationships can be lost when chasing dreams.

DON'T be an asshole/smug when you reach your dream/goals.
Then you're an asshole and your achievement sucks too !

Don't be afraid to reach out for help.
Now - you don't want to ask for help for everything, because that's weak, right ?
But - we're, all, single-minded, though gregarious.
So, when your mind is full and you need input, be selective of who you reach out to.
Real feedback from a trusted source, who is knowledgeable, is critical to your success.

Criticism !! 
Ever hear the term "The truth hurts" ?
It does, because we're emotional beings.

Deal with "the truth" by ensuring it's YOUR truth.
Lots of critics and part time analysts out there - but if you take the time to learn what is right, for you, then YOUR truth will become evident.

Don't believe everything you hear, or read.
Knowledge is power and will, only, come through trial and error.

I'm ending on this final tidbit - 
Don't be afraid of failure.
It, totally, sucks to experience, but the lesson(s) can be priceless.

Put yourself out there and live the life, cause it's all you have.

Be prosperous in all ways !

Peace,
Mik
