\n\t* Learn to Forgive. Don\u2019t harbour any grudges or ill feeling towards others. It\u2019s a waste of your time and energy. Move on with your life and remember that life should be joyous!
\n\t* More action, less thinking. Of course do your due diligence, but we can get caught up thinking and researching. Actions drive people and businesses forward.
