What 34 Years of Life Has Taught Me

1. Time reveals a lot of things (even when you don’t ask)
2. What you think is right may not be.
3. Wasting time with people who don’t value you is like wasting life without you knowing.
4. You will always get what you want if you know how to get it.
5. There will always be miscellaneous in life- things that you don’t expect and prepare for. Both can be good or bad.
6. Worrying solves less problem. Taking action is the real deal.
7. No real success without some amount of risks.
8. I’ve learned to be patient.
9. Fear can be so hard, but when you take the first step, you feel a little bit relieved.
10. Love people, but don’t depend on them.
11. People do beyond your expectations when you limit your expectations on them.
12. Until you find out what people are really going through, don’t be in a hurry to judge them.
13. Double-check everything. You can’t be too sure about anything.
14. Begging for favor is creepy. Exchanging value is better.
15. Humility and patience will always get you anything you want in life.
16. The way you present yourself is the way people will approach you.
17. If people want to go, let them go.
18. There’s nothing like "I can’t do without you". Nobody is indispensable in your life.
19. You can do without someone, but you can’t do without people.
20. The moment you realize the truth, you should follow it immediately, even if you’ve gone far with lies. Treading wrong direction can never get you in the right destination. 
21. Respect is not only reciprocal, it is personified.
22. If you don’t take risk, risk will take you.
23. It’s usually people who you don’t expect that help you in a time of need.
24. If people show you who they are once, believe them.
25. Life is by turn. When your turn comes, use it well so that you don't regret it later.
26. Life is sweet, if only you know how to enjoy it.
27. When you keep celebrating success, success will keep celebrating you.

28. Only life keeps hope alive. If there's life, for sure, there is hope!

29. Sometimes you have to summon courage to do some things. I mean, real courage!

30. You can never always be 100% RIGHT, and you can never always be 100% wrong. 

31. Story of success is easy to share, but difficult to make. 

32. The Africa I want to see is the Africa I've not seen. 

33. Don't tell me how difficult life is, many people already said that. Tell me how easy it can be, not so many people talk about it. 

34. You can't get what you want, if you don't value what you have.
