Stay focused on things you know you can achieve and accomplish.You can ‘minimize the background noise’ and continue to focus on that goal. Do it in a way that’s good for yourself, but also good for others.The growth you’ll experience through that type of perseverance, is life changing. Royce Johns - Don’t trust everything they say.Consider what they say and listen, but make your own decisions. Tony Latcham – Don’t stress/worry so much. Enjoy that time. Life’s too short. It passes by in a blink of an eye. Joy VanWyngarden – Pick friends that are “where” you want to go.Hang out with like-minded people. Jackie Wilson Flying Diamond Beef - Life will have challenges – keep a positive attitude, think about the big picture and do things for others. Jacquelyn Leffler - No matter how you grew up in life, no one can take away your education. But I would now change the word “education” to “experience”. If you can figure out that the sky’s the limit, you’re gonna go far.There’s no limit to success. If you have that mentality, success is yours already. Viren Dsouza - Keep taking chances. Don’t worry about others’ perception of you. Do your own thing and go for it. Nick Tsiolis, Farmer’s Keeper - Be a sponge!Absorb and learn and ask as many questions as you can. You have energy, time, less commitments and can really throw yourself into learning your craft. Totally immerse yourself in the learning. WHO do I want to be, not WHAT do I want to be. Look at people further along in life, and more successful and have more experiences than yourself. Tom Stanton Red Star – Don’t be afraid to move. Don’t be afraid to try something new. Elaine Froese - Be aware of what your strengths are. Know what you’re good at and what you should be valued at. Have family meetings because you can’t assume everyone wants and feels the same as you. Corey – Buy Land, however you can. Dave – Why are you in such a hurry to grow up?Travel NOW (when you’re young).(Huey & Annie also) Tanner – Go do “it”.You’ll never be fully ready, just go do it.
