Gifts are not meant to be lost... I also have a gift, and I am going to use it rightly. I am not going to say, "I want to do this to improve people's lives" as a first priority. The first priority must be to make sure I enjoy what I am working on. Otherwise there's no point.

Second, I must remember that I should not be negative and/or lazy. It's a lethal combination. "I will never achieve the results!" Followed by "I will not do this then." I must not forget, life is learning from failures and adapting to change, thus being fit to survive.

Third, I must make sure I follow the scientific method not only for exams or even limited to career, but also the scientific method must be my tool I use day-to-day to handle problems life throws at me. Let's be easy, be civil.

Fourth, I must remember to keep learning.

That's it. It's all 50% done. Now I just need to practice.
