Today you will not be given anything.
Today you won't be given jack shit. No success or results will fall in your lap. You have to earn it. You have to take it. Go.
The people you meet…
Each person you meet teaches you something. They leave a part of themselves in you, good or bad, and you learn. Can you/do you make deliberate choices about who to be around? It matters - a lot.
Your biggest obstacle
The biggest obstacle to your growth is yourself. When you look in the mirror you are looking at your problem. The good news is that you are also looking at the solution. It's up to you.

People that do not take responsibility for their life, give it away to other people. And guess what they have planned for you? Not much. Take responsibility for your ambitions, goals, actions and results.
Give people exactly what you say you will – or…
Give people exactly what you say you will, or better. When they need someone they can rely on to help them, they will turn to you and you will get opportunities.
A red flag is a red flag
When someone shows you who they are, believe them. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
Envision your future
Human beings are the only animals that can envision a future, and this ability is responsible for hope, optimism and most great advances in civilization. Are you using this ability well?
Wisdom
"Wisdom consists in the anticipation of consequences - and I remind you that consequences can be both good and bad." - Norman Cousins "The anticipation of consequences"....hmmmm... Think - What will be the consequences of your actions, short and long term?
Create value first
We aren't entitled to anything. Nothing is going to come to us unless we create value for someone else first. For the most part and at most times, the world will give us what we deserve.
