25. Working on Sundays doesn’t mean you’re passionate, It means you’re stupid enough not to finish your work on weekdays.

24. When in doubt, take a rain check.

23. You need not know everything. It’s ok to say, “I don’t know”.

22. Straight hair is nice. But that’s not the benchmark for pretty hair. Wild hair is natural and beautiful.

21. Make To-do lists. For work, hopes, dreams and goals.

20. Sing a peppy song in the shower everyday. It revs up the mind metabolism.

19. Frothy, dark, sugar-less coffee can be a great mind-awakener.

18. Train travel is still the most beautiful way to travel. Trees, Moving mountains, cars in a distance. And oh, clouds.

17. Marriage isn’t so scary. It is actually super awesome. But that means we need to work at keeping the magic.

16. Slow and steady doesn’t always win the race. Fast and furious does.

15. Being happy for someone from the bottom of the heart. That’s an exercise I need to do everyday.

14. Toothpaste? Check. Toothbrush? Check. Keep track of personal belongings while travelling.

13. Being faithful means working at it. Even if it’s hard, all the time. Love isn’t forever, but faith is.

12. Feelings come and go. But try not to be a feelings-based person. They can never give you a life. Because life is what you make of it.

11. Draw a sketch of who you want to be. Not just career-wise but personality-wise. And try being that. Even if you fail everyday.

10. Being jealous of someone is fine. But what you do with it, is important. Never let it get toxic.

9. Don’t let down your self-respect. It’s not patience if you take it, it’s cowardice.

8. It’s ok to not judge your lovers exes.

7. After every fight with your loved one, tell yourself that you need to move forward and work on it.

6. Love your girlfriends. They stick with you. Always.

5. Keep in touch with friends. Every relationship needs efforts.

4. Play in the rain.

3. Check out hot men. It’s fine at any age.

2. Try sticking to deadlines. People respect that.

1. Wear perfume everyday. It makes you feel super special.
