  • Shit happens. Deal with it. Don’t wish to turn back time and remake your past in the way you want. Own up to your mistakes and correct your faults.

  • Be prepared for today and surrender to fate as whatever can happen will happen.

  • Be ready for problems. Be prepared for people to behave differently. Be ready to accept things as they are and make it all work out. It’s your life, and I hope you’re prepared for it.
