Don't make it worse

  • When bad things happen and everything goes wrong, please don’t make it worse. Calm yourself down and plan your way out.

  • Don’t let your emotions take over when things go wrong, and look at the bright side. Like I said yesterday, solve your problems early and don’t react just for the sake of acknowledging.

  • Get control of yourself, look for what you can do about the situation, and make the situation even better and more favorable than before when that adverse circumstance never happened. The obstacles are the way.
