Communication can be extremely hard but it's important to do enough of it to maintain and strengthen the bond between you and your mate. Make sure you do your part, otherwise, don't have expectations. Strong communication at home can translate into a successful marriage, a successful career, a successful parenthood for you and your kid(s), and a successful life. Life is hard. If you can do lighten up your load by just communicating, by all means, do it. Help yourself, help your love, help your life.

There's all types of friends. Good friends, bad friends, friends that are your family, true friends, and untrue friends. Make yourself count by valuing yourself before determining who's worth your time, emotion, and trust. 

If it ain't fixed, it's broken. It doesn't mean you have to break yourself to fix someone else's issues. 'You can't make a bad movie good' is what my film professor said. Get out while you can!

What is your heritage? 

Can it be something you're proud of?

Can it make you stronger?

Will it help with no shame? Would it help with judgement from others that can potentially hurt you?

Being interested in your heritage, culture, traditions can help you bring so much passion that success comes easy.

It can help you escape your everyday life to focus on what you're actually passionate about. 

Find yourself and success will find you.

Having expectations can strain relationships with everyone and everything else around you, leaving a sour taste in your mouth each time. Not everyone likes being disappointed every time. There's positive aspects as well as negative aspects in having expectations, just be realistic about it and meet yourself in the middle.

Does common sense really exist? Isn’t everyone at different levels? Don't settle for being a teacher who can't teach, be one that teaches well. Don’t beat yourself up over your own expectations and don't expect others to read your mind.

What do you find yourself doing or feeling when you find your partner's schedule now conflicts with yours? How do you deal with it? 

A few ways. Focus on your goals, strengthen your relationship with others, and do activities you can enjoy either by yourself or with others. It can be a blessing in disguise.

Ownership comes with three things. Responsibility in your work, home, and hobbies. Acceptance that you're no longer ashamed of certain things that may have happened in your life. You're no longer beating yourself up over things you can't change. Accepting the past is owning who you have become and without your past, you wouldn't be where you are today. Finally, recognition. Recognition helps you understand what it took for you to be where you are now and focusing on what matters, which is where you are now and what things you have control of in order to become someone you want to be in the future. 

You never have to renew it.

There’s no recurring fee.

It’s with you for life

You can make the most out of it.

What can u say to kids about diplomas?

It can be one of ur most powerful assets.

I think one of the most important moments spent are times with family because they mold you into what you can become. That's why I believe conversations at the dinner table with family is not something we all may appreciate in the moments but reflecting back can be fond memories that we wish to carry on when we create our own families. 

It helps with learnings, when u share what u learned, u get a deeper understanding of the subject. When others share, u learn new things or a deeper understanding of what the topic was about.

You have a deeper bonding with the family and a deeper understanding of ur family members. You have a deeper understanding of yourself.

Sometimes it can shape what you look for in a mate.

Conversations can help you become more able to express yourself so you won’t have so much built up inside (good mental therapy).

It can help with telling stories that lead to a head start in your career as a high level employee.

For the sake of your mental health, recognizing that there may be an issue on the rise, taking the time to reschedule can help you over the long term. Do what you have to do to get what you want to get and know when the balance needs to be made. Do what's best for your household, your career, and your self gratification.
