As I got older I realised these 33 things

As we get older we get wiser.

Well..at least that's the idea, isn't it?

Here's a great list I found on Twitter.

I wish I was smart enough to have come up with this great list I found on Twitter from Vala Afshar

As I got older I realised these 33 things:

1. Lost money can be found; lost time is lost forever
2. Learning to learn, and changing yourself is a superpower
3. You are not your job.
4. Networking is about giving
5. The best teacher is your last mistake
6. Good manners as important as good education
7. Do not take your health for granted
8. Be a better friend and value relationships
9. If you are waiting for a title to lead, you are not ready to lead
10. A sponsor is more important than a mentor
11. A good story is soulful with a sprinkling of data
12. Stop worrying about what others think of you
13. If you want an easier life, work on harder problems
14. Best teachers are lifelong students
15. Imposter syndrome is real
16. Fight against a sense of entitlement
17. Half the battle is showing up
18. Love and cherish your parents by giving them your time
19. Success is not accidental
20. The best views are there for those who love the climb
21. Lucky people work harder
22. Takers may end up with more, but givers sleep better at night
23. Memorising is not learning
24. It is okay to look back, just don’t stare
25. Knowing is not acting
26. Straight roads do not make great drivers
27. Good listeners hear the unsaid
28. Be the person that you want to follow
29. Do not limit your contribution to a job description
30. Take care of your parents - the best gift that you can give yourself
31. Customer service is not a department
32. In the long run, the optimists do more
33. Never ruin an apology with excuses
