A letter to

dear self,

Soon enough, you're going to lead the team. A team of 7 human beings, including yourself that is.
You have known yourself, your flaws for 22 years, I am sure. What more that you had been in the similar position years before. Let's count (moment of silence). 5 years back?
Yes. Things back then were different. Thoughts was not purely matured yet, management and leadership skills was not fully molded yet. Though, you had experience, that does not mean you are better and know better. That does not mean you can be egoistic and be extremely proud of yourself. Nope.
Rather, take this as a whole new experience again, to shape yourself and make yourself a better person. Take it truthfully to your heart.

Ask, if helpless. Ask, if unsure.
Do not be defeated by harsh, negative comments. Shake away and smile. When you face trouble, always share the burden, not handling and hugging the problem by your own.You are also a human being who is equally imperfect as the others. When things don't go according to your wish, take a chill pill. Always learn to be patient during tough times. Learn to take a deep breath and think, rather than throw tantrum. Learn to sit down and gather all your thoughts, then conclude 'em into firm actions. Do not disregard others' opinions. Even if you can't make a decision out of so many suggestions and ideas, seek for the wise and have a clear conclusion for yourself. Also, do not invite arguments for unnecessary, ridiculous reasons. Leave the frown in your forehead, ditch negative emotions and start searching for solutions, rather than sit and rant. You can always have your moment of frustration, but please, do not allow this to eat too much of your time.

Speaking of time, you must constantly remind yourself about time management. Manage and plan well, self. You might be involved with multimillion activities, but do not take your academic too lightly. Besides having fun, always come back to your core goals. 

Soon, you'll be a role model, not only among your colleagues but also to people out there in the society. Set a good example and continue being that good example. If you want to be great, be great that lasts permanently.

Remember, we are all life learners.

Inhale positivity, fill yourself with confidence, learn as much as you can throughout the experience and always stay humble. :)
