1. Be Curious – look at things and wonder why.
   • Wonder if something can do more.
   • Wonder if you can make something better or different.
   • Ask why? Ask how?
2. Keep Learning – never stop learning.
   • Be a life-long learner.
   • Learn because you are curious.
   • Learn because you want to better yourself.
3. Don’t Be Afraid to Fail – no one succeeds on the first try.
   • For every great success, there are hundreds of failures.
   • You learn from your failures and they help you succeed.
   • We should encourage students this way in school also.
4. Be Passionate – be passionate and excited about what you do, no matter what.
   • Why do it if you aren’t passionate or don’t care.
   • This goes for everything you do, from cleaning your room to doing your work.
5. Keep Good Company – be around people who share your values and beliefs.
   • Be with people who are passionate, curious, and keep learning.
     Surround yourself with people who will help you succeed, not lead you to failure or troubles.
