I’ve seen lots of posts from people, much farther along in life than me, detail a set of things that they believe in. I’ve always strayed away from publishing one of my own, primarily because I find myself possibly being too young to have beliefs that I can concretely say I will always follow.
Maybe all of these beliefs will change, maybe a few, maybe none; but from the 17 years I’ve been on this earth: here are some things I believe in.
- Be, unapologetically, kind.
- Working a lot ≠ working smart. However, working smart can (and often does) require you to work a lot.
- Being a charismatic person is an amazing & important aspiration to have.
- Never be in the absence of learning.
- Reading of all kinds, but specifically books, is something time has to be made for.
- Surround yourself with people you aspire to be like.
- Never let go of humility and humbleness. (By extension, always be willing to seek knowledge from people around you.)
