LESSONS LEARNED
1. Make sure what you do aligns to your purpose and values: You will never
go wrong by doing what you are passionate about. It will give you a sense
of belonging and make a difference to others and yourself.
2. Be prepared to work hard and engage in continuous learning:
Whether it is developing technical skills, emotional intelligence or building
relationships, persevere for self-improvement.
3. Take opportunities that come your way: Despite fear and self-doubt,
and even in difficult situations or when you think you are an imposter,
give it a go — you might surprise yourself.
4. Self-care: It is a marathon, not a sprint, so make sure you take time out
to look after yourself. Do not forget to laugh every day and keep everything
in perspective. Life is way too short not to.
