Experiment as much as possible. Mistakes are your best teachers.

Grow lot of plants and collect lots of books. When you have both, you're set for life.

Pray even if you don't believe. It helps focus your mind to your goal.

When you've become successful (or rich), don't forget us. Don't look for us, rather pay it forward.
