LESSONS TO LEARN Have a higher goal in life than making money. Money is not the best of motivators therefor you need to find a better one. Always try to aim higher, even if you are rich. Take positive risks and always aim for success If something's important enough, you should try. Even if you - the probable outcome is failure. ~ Elon musk
