20 Harsh Life Lessons You Should Know Before Leaving NYSC. by izuagbala: 1:52pm On Oct 05, 2016
1. Nobody owes you a damned thing in life. The sooner you get this, the sooner you can take responsibility for improving your life.
You are solely responsible for yourself, your actions, speech and thoughts. Not your parents, not your friends, not your spouse or children. YOU.

2. Hell is other people - if you hang around people that are always negative, don’t want the best for you and otherwise hold you back from achieving your potential. Get rid of those people ASAP.

3. Sausage in, sausage out. Be super careful about what food you put in your mouth, what music you listen to, what books you read, what movies you watch, etc. If you consume bad food or garbage content regularly, you will become garbage yourself.

4. You are not a special butterfly. Every single person puts their pants on, one leg at a time, yourself included. Every person struggles from time to time. Every person wants to cry out.

5. There are no magic life hacks to become successful overnight. You have to hustle constantly, sell yourself to everyone you meet, tell a good story and always know how to get your point across to every audience you encounter.

6. There is always someone smarter, more motivated, harder-working, prettier, richer, more precocious than you. The worst thing you can do is to compare yourself to other people. Compare yourself instead to your own potential and you’ll be on the right road.

7. You will not know nearly the full extent of your potential until you are challenged to your core, repeatedly, and live up to your promise, time and time again. Resilience is key, along with imagination, creativity and a glass always half full (even when it looks empty). Seek out the challenges first before they seek you out to drag you through hell.

8. Good intentions lead to one place and one place only, when unaccompanied by actions. Be a man or woman of your word and you will gain instant value in the eyes of others.

9. Mastering a skill, job or career takes a lot longer than just becoming conversant, but often a lot sooner than 10,000 hours. It takes patience, dedication, the motivation to always be the best, especially when you’re surrounded by other brilliant, motivated people that have been doing what you want to be doing for years.

10. People in business will help you (almost always) only after you help them first. Don’t ask for something from a person before offering him or her some concrete value first.
It certainly helps to be good-looking and well-connected. But if you’re neither, being well-spoken, motivated and passionate might just take you further in life than looks and connections.
