🔘 Listen
"Being a good listener means:
a) put others first,
b) actively listen to what they are saying (read between the lines what they are really communicating),
c) give them the space to make their own decisions e
d) listen to them with empathy and not to judge them.
It's difficult. But it's worth it."

🔘 Know
"We take what others tell us as well as their views on trust, but this is a superficial and vulgar way of learning things.
To know things we must make them our own.
Otherwise we are like a person who, in need of a fire, goes to his neighbor's house to get some and, finding a fireplace already lit, sits in front of it to warm up and completely forgets to bring some home.
What is the use of filling our stomachs if we are unable to digest, if we are unable to understand; and so if we always take this information on trust, how can it nourish and support us? "

🔘 Get in the Game
If you want to make ambitious dreams come true and make a difference in the world around you, you need to get involved.
1. Use challenges as fuel to grow
'Obstacles do not obstruct the path. Obstacles are the way. '
Zen proverb
2. Take risks
'There are costs and risks in doing anything. But they are infinitely less than the long-distance risks and costs of having been comfortably inactive '
John F. Kennedy
3. Embrace defeat
'Don't be afraid of making mistakes. It is not the mistake, but the low betting that is a crime. In great challenges, even losing is valiant. '
Bruce Lee
4. Don't let your head command your heart
'Don't give up on your fears. If you do, you will not be able to speak to your heart. "
Paulo Coelho
5. Confront your fears
'Doing nothing raises doubts and fear. Acting, on the other hand, increases confidence and courage. If you want to conquer fear, don't sit at home thinking about it. Go out and get busy. '
Dale Carnegie
6. Ask for help
"In the end we will eat our hands for all the opportunities we have not taken"
Lewis Carroll
