Liza B.

1) Listen to your gut. It’s there for a reason and people ignore intuition more than they should.

2) Be flexible. Adaptability is the best trait you can hope to have. And it’s a choice so you don’t need to be born with it.

1) You need to find the right person to settle down with and look long and hard for them. That is about 90% of how happy your life will be. Not money, not your career.

3) Assume everyone means well and is doing the best they can with what they have. Even if they may seem wrong to you.
