Wisdom Nuggets

  • You may not be able to control the bad things that come your way, but you can control how you respond to it. Your attitude determines your action, you can choose to feel sorry for yourself or you can use a situation as an opportunity to capitalize and move forward or create new things.
  • See how you can add value: In order to build meaningful relationships and networks, it's extremely important to always go in with an attitude of service. Seeking how you can add value first, not what you can get out of it. This will help you in being able to build lasting and healthy relationship networks
  • Opportunity comes from anywhere, never let yourself limit what you can do. If you can’t find what you’re looking for, create it. Don’t forget that you can achieve anything if you are willing to put in the work. But remember being the best you can be and achieving success takes time, put in the work, stay the course and you will be successful in the end.
