    There are so many. And here are some of them: 1) Do good. 2) Time is your greatest friend and worst enemy. 3) Everything in life is a trade-off. So choose your trade wisely.

    Hey @matcha_anil I am glad that you started this discussion. As the world is full of distractions, the best advice I believe I got was to stay away from all the useless distractions and just focus on what I want to achieve. It helped me in learning and improving myself every single day. Also helped me in narrowing out what is the purpose of my life and made me a healthier, happier, and more peaceful person.

    Well, it was something like: "Doubt kills more dreams than failure ever will". It's been my main motivation generator for years now.

    "Fail fast, learn faster." It's a hard pill to swallow, but embracing failure as a stepping stone is key.

    don't micromanage tasks while you are running a business. learn to delegate. and this changed my life
    I don't think there could be the best advice at all. Different people may advise really great things but you never know what would be the best of it. One of the greatest things I`ve ever been advised is to trust in people's kindness.
    The worst you can receive is a no. The underlying principle is that in any discussion or negotiation, people tend to give way to any reasonable and small ask by another party. This small piece of advice had given me lower rents, small discounts, and nice perks through the years after hearing it.

    Never bring a problem to the table without proposing a solution, even if the solution is wrong. It turns a destructive conversation into a constructive one.

    Trust in your instincts, they've got you this far. Everyone has a view on everything, following committee style will just blur your vision.

    In my case it was "leave your problems at the door". The guy who said it was a total a***ole, BUT, he was right. Personal problems and work should not mix. If they do, your performance will drop, and your job will be affected. Instead, it's useful to compartmentalize, while at work (or while working) focus on work-related problems, and once you're off the clock, get back to your personal ones.

    One thing that stuck to me was 'no one is irreplaceable in business'.
