5. Don't just go along. Realize that you can say no when it is vital to say no -- even to a team or a group that may cut you off. You can find it easy to cut off your morality, in the name of nationalism or even a commitment to business. Better to cut off the group.
6. Check the mirror. The most difficult thing is to be objective and still put your heart into your work. But if you are true to yourself and see the weaknesses that you have, you are more able to listen to other people's stories with an engaged heart.
7. It's not about the credit. Don't expect people to be thankful for whatever you do. They will not be. Your job is to keep giving.
8. Stay curious. When I meet people, I am eager to find out how they are, how they think, and how they come to do things they do.
9. It's not supposed to be easy. Remember that the hard way is the most interesting. I want my epitaph to say, "She took the hard road." That's the only legend that is true to me.
10. Your life is an epic. Some people see themselves as victims, some as heroes. The healthiest outlook is to see your life as an epic journey, where each day is considered a new adventure.
