People will drain your time if you let them. That's why your time should be the most important thing to you. A time cost calculator can show you just how valuable each second is. Allocate it wisely to yourself and your loved ones. Value your time.

Stop letting everyone else's opinions dictate your life. Flip the "shut up" switch and try things for yourself! Focus 98% of your time on the good parts, and stop demonizing what you don't like. Be your own cheerleader and find what makes you successful.

It's frustrating when people offer opinions based on hearsay, not experience. They just repeat what they've heard. I internally flip the "shut the F up" switch and do my own investigations. Research everything—facts, fiction, pros, cons—and stop falling for the trap of other people's opinions.

An 81-year-old working to survive is a stark reminder. You can't change their past, but you CAN shape your future. What choices are you making NOW to ensure a secure and fulfilling later life? Learn from others' mistakes and successes.

Stephen A. Smith was caught playing solitaire during the NBA Finals. Turns out, it was a good thing, as he turned it into a partnership with Papaya as a global ambassador for their solitaire-based gambling app. They have no shame.
