Don't expect any help financially from anyone.
No one ever feel they have enough money, even billionaire.
You will be more happy that you can support yourself rather than being supported by someone else for whatever you need in life. There is nothing better than having full control of your own life, because you won't have to feel you are under someone's thumb. You can be whoever you wanted to be, not affected by anyone else at all.
Remember, everything else except the things you needed to survive (i.e. a roof over your head, food and clothing that you get to wear), outside all these are just novelty. They are things that won't matter anymore when you died one day, don't spend all your hard earned money on them.
Each one of us can only eat, wear and live with a small amount and space. Why have 500 pieces of different clothing when you will only get to wear 10 of them? Our stomach can only fit in food that is the size of our fist for us to survive. And each of us only take up to a small living space.
Give them to the people who need it more than you do.

Getting help from friends is nice, but it's not their duty.
It may seem getting help from a friend is a natural thing, but remember when someone refuse to help you, they must have their reasons. It doesn't mean they don't want to help.
Always try to put yourself in someone's shoes first, and be understanding whenever someone couldn't help you (there might be valid reasons as to why). People don't owe you.
One has to be generous and lucky enough to be in position to help.
At the same time, remember, never expect anything in return when you helped someone.
Your reason to help is because you are capable or because someone really deserves your help, but never because you want something in return.
(Learn to understand).

Life is tough sometimes, and you won't necessary always get help when you needed it.
Only you, yourself can make your life happy, strong, and independent. Your life is in your hands, don't expect others to build it for you. To be able to feel you have absolute control over your own life, is the greatest gift you can give yourself. Don't ever let anyone try to control yours.
"As you grow older, you'll find the two hands that you have, one is for helping yourself, the other is for helping others." - Audrey Hepburn

Don't judge people by their look and their wealth.
How wealthy other people is, or how they look in appearance has no business of yours. They won't necessary share a feather with you or be kind to you, so don't make yourself like a dog prancing for treats. You will be surprised sometimes the poorest has more valuable things to share with you, may it be a joke or a great story that will let you learn so much.
(Learn to self respect).
5/.
Don't leave your spiritual friends behind for your rich wealthy friends.
Your wealthy friends might able to take you to amazing places to enjoy nice food and drinks. But they can also bring you a complicated life. A life that is filled only with things money can buy, is content without substance. A person cannot be truly happy, when they can only fill their (spiritually) emptyness full of earthy possessions.
Your desire is an endless pit, however, your money is not.
If you learn only how to make yourself happy by buying stuff, you will only desire more and more.
You will plummet to the bottom when you realised you don't have an endless source of money. At the end, you'd learn buying to make yourself happy is a trap for making more misery.
True happiness is to have someone who can share laughters and tears with you. You can run with this person with no shoes, but still enjoy each other's companies a great deal. That's what money can't buy!
(Learn to differentiate who is good or bad for you).

You can believe in the purest, exciting and dramatic love.
That however, only belongs in stories, like Romeo and Juliet, for they lived a very short life.
Or stories like the Disney princesses, for their stories always ended when they get married.
But life doesn't stop after getting married. We live a much longer life than Romeo and Juliet, life is real, and is full of small and challenging stuff. Real people's lives are a tree in the wild, not fireworks gone in the sky and lasts only 5 seconds.
Everything you have, it's either you worked very hard for it, or someone else like your parents worked very hard to earn it for you.

No matter the reasons how you got married or have children, or just being part of the family you are in, you have the duty to love this family, everyone in it, and the responsibility to make this home filled with your love. It doesn't matter how small or simple it is, your home is what you make it is. Do the best with what you can, for a child and yourself can only thrive in a loving home.
A loving home will give you endless source of power to deal with anything in the outside world. So before conquering the world, make your home filled with love and care.

We all grow old one day, our skin will go wrinkly, teeth will be weak, hair turning white or falling off. Youth passes us by every single second, every minute, every hour. Time does not wait for anyone, so make good use of your time. Don't sleep it away, or waste it on things that is not real (like video games).
Read a good book, let your imagination run wild, learn something useful. Let good knowledge and philosophy filled within you, and be happy and satisfied for what you've earned in life. Our body is just a mortal coil, that everyone of us will fade away like dust one day, don't clang on wilting jar, pay attention to what's inside!
(Learn to grow old gracefully).

Do not get stubborn and holding tight on everything earthy possessions that you have.
As a human and a living being, we only spend about 70-80 years on earth, lucky if you get 90. We all die one day, while some earthy possessions is important (maybe on a sentimental level), we cannot take them away with us when we die.
Leave a legacy behind you, let people remember who you are that they cherish you for. Your spirits live on in your children and grandchildren. They are made of you and will be part of you that will go on forever.
