Spend time with people who are honest and caring, and you be honest and caring as well. This goes for friends, family, and SO’s.
Marriage can be wonderful with the right person, and horrible with the wrong one. Make a list of top 5 things you want in a spouse and look for those things. Date for at least a year before marriage, and time for an engagement as well. Remember, someone honest, caring, that is two of your 5 already. Strong work ethic and responsible are good ones also.
Save money. Money = freedom.
Try to seek a mentor at your place of work to guide you.
Working hard and being prepared is what will make you able to sieze a great opportunity when it presents itself. People who are lucky, usually are actually doing just this, they are qualified for opportunities when they come up.
Have fun! Enjoy happy moments. Take time to really soak them in.
Don’t drink, or do drugs, or smoke. It is a huge waste of money, and not worth the risks to your health, or the possibilty of addiction. Well, a few drinks now and again are ok, but not on a regular basis is my recommendation.
