Advice From a 19-Year-Old.
The age when worrying gets hold of you by the neck. Don't worry says the mother.
Don't worry when Fred has a sports car already.
Don't worry when I have no clue of how my life will curve out.
Don't worry when the anxiety is bubbling up.
But mum is right, she was the same age as I now though in different times. Although I can never justify if I get it wrong, as she says, we ought to learn from the pigeons how to collect and be content with the little we share.
From my 19 years of existence, I have picked some lessons.

When greeting people greater(in age/stature) than you have the courtesy to stand up. Great old people with dignity and dignity shall follow through in life. Just like a beam balance. This breathes to life your charismatic trait. So-called the Emotional Quotient(E.Q). Simply learn to trick people's emotions and the aah! the moment is yours. Power of a handshake.
In a buying negotiation, never be the first to name a price. You put yourself at a disadvantage of never going lower. Ensure you merit the price you quote either by previous visit or basic googling. Or such negotiation skills than save nerves by playing as if both teams are going to win. Look for that which will be beneficial to all. Power of late beginnings.
Friends come and go but family dies with you. Not from the nonexistent crap I see all Genz choke our thoughts that family didn't support you. No family would like to be drifted apart. Hold on to the people your blood relates to. And the friends who became family, happily ever after hold them in the greatest regard. Have a gang or tribe of slightly like-minded guys or associated with a common goal. Power of compounding effort.
What is more important is what is on your passenger seats than in the trunk. Life is more important than the bag we keep on chasing. What if I work hard and have no one to partake in my fortune, I shall fade like the morning dew? Value life than gold. Give life the slow pace, never mind about the speed of others ensure you are neither fast nor slow. Be reserved when acquiring and keeping relationships. The three combos; are relationships, wealth, and health. Power of life.
Anytime you meet someone, it is a learning curve. The bullet has never left the chamber completely. So allow learning to occur, and let your mind be flexible to new ideas. Just like water takes different forms, accept rationale change if the circumstances perceive of right judgment in those situations. Power of past.
Always anticipate what will happen next. We are in a risk-full world only to be shocked that the trajectory you chose landed far from where you anticipated. Thus, plan even the negative, which can shake your emotions, or plan the impossible, which can melt your emotions. Tip, don't dwell so much on the past that you forget about living in the moment with a hope of a better tomorrow. Simply, the power of now.
Be spiritual either by being religious or a wandering nice person who believes in the good of everyone. Believe in the good of others rather than solicit your judgment from what others filter for your knowledge. In short, don't believe what you feel, hear, smell, taste, or see. You may end in trouble deeply convinced of a snake in the place of a rope in the night. Be almost like fluid taking the shape of everyone while maintaining your nature. Power of you.
To hell with finding the right person, the right quality, or either the right job. We all have defects, it is how you learn to live with the defects that we develop a stronghold. If I talk more than in the required sub-setting, I should not worry because it's my nature. But people's comments should shed light on the inconvenience caused. I should evaluate whether it was I in the wrong or them. A sane mind is appropriate enough to get you through without a hassle. There is no perfect glam. Learn to accommodate. Power of x and y.
Power of a deep breath. Goes all down to the simple stuff; drinking water, the tone you adopt when conversing with particular people, or your favorite sitting spot on a couch. and when faced with hiccups a deep slow breath is a lifesaver. you don't have to fill with the whole oxygen in your vicinity but just a slow uninterrupted gulp is essential. Slowing down the adrenaline pump and detoxing dopamine.
Always have a retreat. A place to add up your memories, journals, and mistakes. A place to draw your next move. And a place to experience self-love. To elaborate more consider it as somewhere deep in nature theme where you get to forget the stress, just you alone and holding an executive meeting with the main domain (yourself). More of what used to happen before modernization and essentially what our ancestors used to do. No Wi-Fi, no unnecessary talk, and absolutely a unique silence. Power of backstepping.
There is no book, article, seminar, or person who has an eternal key to living the perfect life. And daringly no one will promise to deliver eternal life full of laughter in a simple clear blueprint. Individual effort is a must and a necessity. So smile like you just got a divine thought. You have to sweat to be lean and muscular. Since we all have one shot in life we ought to cast all eggs in one basket. Only what makes sense should be filtered and accommodated as a neat practice. The same way a medical procedure is to be tested to evaluate its application in the future, the same way is our life tested. So give it a first neat impression. Power of testing.
Appreciate the creator
