Self-created struggles
See life as it is, without all the ideals and fantasies you’ve been preoccupied with.
The vast majority of our struggles are self-created, and we can choose to overcome them in an instant.
Fearing judgment from others
Tying your self-worth to everyone else’s opinions gives you a flawed sense of reality because people judge us based on a pool of influences in their own lives that have absolutely nothing to do with us.
Past experiences
We need to learn from the past, but also to be ready to update what we learned based on how our circumstances have changed.
Choosing our priorities
We have to say “no” to good things to be able to say “yes” to important things. We simply can’t do it all.
So be mindful and choose wisely today. You have to sacrifice something that you value less than whatever it is you ultimately want to achieve.
Passion is not something we find
... it’s something we do. Our passion comes from doing things right.
If you’re waiting to find your passion somewhere outside yourself, so you finally have a reason to put your whole heart and soul into life, you’ll likely be waiting around for an eternity.
Start now
Start working toward your goals. Don't just wait around for someone or something outside yourself to pick you up and carry you forward.

- Aggressive behavior: it is harmful, egoistic and is about controlling others.
The Middle Path
Most people are either passive or aggressive. Passive people are afraid of confrontation and lie easily.
Aggressive people are not liked, as they can trample others for their own benefit.

How to build your response
- Present: Talk a little bit about what your current role is, the scope of it, and possibly a recent achievement.
- Past: Tell the interviewer how you got there and/or mention a past experience that’s relevant to the job and company you’re applying for.
- Future: Continue with what you’re looking to do next and why you’re interested in this job.
Tailor Your Answer
Interviewers want to know how your answer about yourself is relevant to the position and company you’re applying for.
This is an opportunity to articulate why you’re interested and how your objective fulfills their goals. In order to do that, spend some time researching the company. If your answers resonate with them, it shows that you really understand the role.

Fruit juice is not that healthy
Fruit juice, even if it is freshly pressed, 100 percent juice, is little more than sugar water.

Feeling full
You might feel full immediately after drinking a glass of juice or a fresh smoothie, but that sensation goes away rapidly, as the liquid quickly empties out of your stomach.
When you drink your calories instead of eating them, your brain doesn’t get the same “I’m full” signal that it does from solid food, even though you end up consuming more calories in the process.
