1.You’ve got to believe that your best days are ahead. Right there in front of you. You have to keep going. Never mind where you’ve been. Never mind if it felt like the pits of hell. What’s to come is more important. The Almighty has promised He won’t test us beyond our capacity!

2.Don't engage in sin. When they gossip, backbite etc; make sure you remind them to stop. If they don't take heed, then excuse yourself from such a company. Don’t be a leaking bucket & waste your good deeds by remaining in the presence of gossip or engaging in it!

3.Be wary of oppressing others especially when you’re in a position of power. The Almighty is All-Knowing, All-Seeing. You may think you’re getting away with it but wait! Be it in this world or the next or perhaps both, a severe punishment awaits. You’ll never get away scot-free!

4.Be mindful of your reactions. When you’re negative, it will bring about negative consequences. Always choose kindness, love and compassion over anger, pride, jealousy, arrogance and malice. Learn to respond in a positive manner. It will have a huge impact on your life!

5.Do you find yourself facing trial after trial, hardship after hardship? Don’t despair. Bear good patience and keep glorifying the Almighty. He will make a way out for you. From all your trials and tribulations. It’s only a matter of time. Don’t lose hope in His Mercy! Soldier on!

6.Our weakest moments show up the strength of our faith. When the storm hits, what do we do? Is the Almighty the first One we turn to for help? Involve Him from the start. He’s the only One who will help you in your lowest moments. Don’t count on others. They’ll fail you miserably!

7.Don’t use mean words on people. It’s often hurtful or even worse, derogatory. Although people sometimes don’t mean what they say, once spoken, it’ll be hard to retract your words. It’s good practice to always choose your words wisely. Give people the respect they deserve!

8.Not everyone will like you. Not everyone will support you. Not everyone will give you the honour you deserve. Don’t let it bother you. That’s life basically. You need to realise that the Almighty is in full control. You don’t need anyone to fulfil your destiny. Only He matters!

9.Are you a people pleaser? Do you always need validation from others? Do you live your life based on the opinions of others because you are afraid of disappointing them. Be wary. People will try to mould and shape you into what they want you to be. Learn to say no. Refuse kindly!

10.We're graded based on how well we did in our exams. Do you know of those whose success is largely measured by the performance of others? Teachers! Let's appreciate them for choosing such a challenging profession only to contribute to the betterment of mankind. Our unsung heroes!
