Mother-son talk. Tips to raise a great MAN

1. Be fearless

Things we don’t know scare us. Look at them like starting a new adventure. It might end good, it might end bad. It’s a lesson for you (not to you).

1. Never be afraid of rejection

Fit in. Being accepted. We’re social creatures. It hurts being rejected. When it happens, take that pain and frustration and turn it into a new goal. Sometimes it’s hard. I trust you’ll make it. There’s 8 billion people on the planet. At least one will SEE and Love the real you.

1. Hardship defines a strong man

When you’re young, your loved ones deal with this. Once you become an adult, there are other things to come with that. Less you need my guidance, the more you are independent and take your own decisions. Don’t be shy when it comes to harsh times. Dare. You might be surprised.

1. Value your energy

It’s precious. It can bring you far in your projects. Don’t waste it on parties, hanging out, pe=leasing others. It’s a lot of wasted energy. Why don’t you use that to become better? (and… girls can wait)

1. Value your attention

We have been seeking that since we’re infants. And we have it. From our parents, from our loved ones. The moment you step out in the world, this attention is CONDITIONED. Nothing is free (unfortunately). And your attention is more precious than the one you seek in others to give to you. Give yourself attention first. And the one from others will follow ( I promise you)

1. Value your time

If you waste it, you will never recover it. Use your time for you. Learn, laugh, be free. Like I said, the others will follow. Everybody wants to be free. Everybody. By the time you’ll get there, your time will be so precious that others will pay (in a way or another) just for a little of your time.

1. Value your money

These, you can easily make and recover. You just need a great idea and constant work. After a while, you will know how to value them. (naturally)

1. Concentrate on yourself

Betterment. Becoming a better version of yourself every day. You don’t need to compare yourself with others. But it’s crucial to compare yourself with YOU. The one you are today, with the one you were yesterday.

1. Read

Food for the brain. We learn every day, about everything, from everybody. Don’t let a degree fool you that you know everything. Someone that only has 3 years of school might give you “the lesson of your life”.

1. Pursue your betterment

When you reach a high peak, don’t stop. “Who doesn’t know, and he doesn’t know that he doesn’t know is hopeless: avoid him. Who doesn’t know, and he knows that he doesn’t know, is ignorant: help him. Who knows, and he doesn’t know he knows, is asleep: wake him up. Who knows and he knows that he knows is wise: follow him.”
