Stop comparing your journey with others.
In the forest of life, creatures thrive in diverse ways. The swift rabbit dashes through its fleeting 15 years, while the gentle tortoise ambles along, savoring 150 years or more. This contrast teaches us that life isn't about racing, comparing, or conforming. Instead, it's about finding our inner peace and pursuing our purpose.

Help your friends the right way.
When we want to support a friend in need, our intentions are often pure. However, our approach can sometimes be misguided, unintentionally stripping them of their dignity and self-worth. It's essential to recognize that a person's ego and self-esteem are delicate and vital components of their overall well-being.

Plan ahead.
Life is full of bridges to cross, challenges to overcome, and obstacles to navigate. But too often, we wait until we're standing at the edge of the bridge, staring into the abyss, before we start thinking about how to cross it. We wait until we're in the midst of a crisis before seeking solutions.

Divine friendship.
In a world where fair-weather friends are plentiful, it's easy to get caught up in the illusion of connection. But, as the saying goes, "when the going gets tough, the tough get going." And that's precisely when you'll discover who your true friends are.

Be yourself.
In a world where conformity and pretence often seem to be the norm, it's easy to get caught up in trying to change who we are to impress others. We may think that altering our personality, interests, or values will help us fit in or gain acceptance. But the truth is, trying to be someone we're not is not only exhausting but also unfulfilling.

Focus on your race and mind your business.
In a world where comparison and competition reign, it's easy to get caught up in the frenzy of trying to keep up with others. But wisdom whispers a different tale. Observe the rabbit and the tortoise, inhabitants of the same forest, yet living vastly different lives. The rabbit's speedy existence spans a mere 15 years, while the tortoise's gentle pace stretches to 150 years or more.

Be my friend not my frenemy.
In the tapestry of life, friendships are woven with threads of trust, loyalty, and compassion. Yet, when fortune's fabric frays, many relationships unravel, exposing the dark underside of human nature. Some friends turn us into emotional indentured servants, exploiting our vulnerabilities. Others demand payment in kind, even from those grieving and bereft. And still, others forget the memories we shared, the laughter we laughed, and the tears we dried – erasing our very existence from their minds.

Cherish loyal friends.
As you achieve success in life, cherish loyal friends with a conscience. I've witnessed friendships turn sour when one person's fortunes dwindle. Some exploit their friends' vulnerability, treating them like servants when they need help. Others demand favors in exchange for assistance, even from a widow and her children. Sadly, some don't even bother to pay their respects at a friend's funeral, despite sharing memories and struggles.

Power and position can corrupt even the noblest of relationships.
Friendship is a sacred bond, but power and position can corrupt even the noblest of relationships. Beware of becoming the friend who exploits others' vulnerabilities, turning them into servants or objects of desire. Don't condition your help on personal gain or humiliation. Instead, offer a helping hand with dignity and respect.
