According to him, there are three ways of knitting success in life: self-confidence, because believing in yourself is one part of our success. The second way is that we have to build a positive mindset because what is on our minds will affect how we behave. The positive mindset that is meant is the mindset that we can be successful; we are good people and have good abilities. We must also pay attention to our behaviour because many companies accept employees with good academics, but many companies dismiss employees because of bad employee behaviour.

Meanwhile, we must have a positive working attitude that must be built from now on, such as discipline, punctuality, and courtesy.
Then, He said that it is better if we do something, one by one, but it can impact. We can also make our days fun, and we don’t have to judge ourselves or others. According to him, we are better off praising others than thinking negatively of others. This is one of the highest qualities of self because we consider other people to be good examples.
