Embracing the mantra of ‘Fail Fast’ is essential. Rather than delaying the inevitable by clinging onto the hope that situations might shift in your favor, it’s wiser to face the reality head-on. The quicker you can navigate through your failures and move forward, the more advantageous it will be!
“In your post-academic life, it’s time to evaluate your friendships: ditch those that drain you and nurture the ones that uplift you. Say no to fair-weather friends who only reach out when they need a favor, or those who belittle rather than celebrate your achievements. Resist the influence of friends who push you towards undesirable paths and hinder your personal growth. Invest your energy in cultivating meaningful friendships- it’s the quality, not the quantity that matters now.”
“After graduation, it’s essential to reconsider the friendships that drain rather than energize you. The scales no longer tip in favor of enduring friendships that are detrimental to your well-being. We all have them: friends who only reach out when they need something, those who revel in your failures and envy your successes. These are the friends who push you towards actions that don’t align with your values and stunt your personal growth. It’s time to invest your energy in nurturing substantial and uplifting friendships. It’s quality over quantity that matters now.”
