Listen to people to hear them not just to respond. You will develop better connections with people and have greater respect & understanding for people this way and they for you. 2. Pay more attention to what people's actions are and less to what they tell you. This applies heavily to social media. What people post is what they want you to perceive, not necessarily what is reality. 3. You have to be your own, humble, cheerleader. Celebrate your wins, and don't be too hard yourself when you fail, failure is just an opportunity to learn a new lesson. 4. Expect that people will do what is in their own best interest until you see otherwise. It is human nature and you shouldn't be upset with someone for it. This one thing has kept me from being disappointed and upset with so many people because when you expect it you aren't hurt by it. Doesn't make me dislike anyone more, it lets me accept them as human.
