You’ve just climbed one heck of a mountain, and you deserve a big pat on the back for rising to the challenge. Just make sure that pat is delivered by someone else’s hand, though. Being too quick to boast about your achievement could make people think that you only did it for the bragging rights, and that cheapens it. You have to be content with your pride in yourself. The applause from other people (that is sure to come) should just be icing on the cake.

Feeling like the underdog today? Don’t despair! You’d be surprised how many people root for the little guy. When you have nothing to lose, you take more risks. Let your natural gumption and moxie call the shots!

The next time you feel a quarrel coming on, instead of yelling the first grievance that pops into your head, leave the room to calm down. It’s easier to figure out relationship woes with a cool head.

Poetry unread is only a string of words. That’s how you feel about your finances, too. You want to shout about it to the world, or why bother with it at all? But the rest of the world is not exactly an adoring audience. Your real fans already know and strangers don’t care. Keep the information to yourself.
