How DAMN. Prepped Me For NYC (and life)

1. BLOOD.
Not everything is as it seems.

2. DNA.
Be proud of what makes you, you.
Use assurance for confidence.

3. YAH.
Define your purpose in your surrounding.
Own your space.

4. ELEMENT.
At some point you will be in
‘The Zone.’
You worked hard to be here, don’t lose focus.

5. FEEL.
You must rely on yourself.
Annoyances and distractions are opportunities for growth.

6. LOYALTY.
Don’t underestimate your contacts.
They are the catalyst to your career.

7. PRIDE.
Reflect on where you could be.
Seize your moments.

8. HUMBLE.
People like to talk about their experiences.
Be a sponge.

9. LUST.
99¢ pizza only applies to cheese slices.
Be wary of misdirection.

10. LOVE.
Growth comes from challenge.
Don’t do the easy shit.

11. XXX.
People are self-motivated.
Be wary of your surroundings.

12. FEAR.
A fast pace manifests anxiety.
Slow down and enjoy the details.

13. GOD.
You don’t get this incredible experience anywhere else.
Enjoy it.

14. DUCKWORTH.
Reflection is key to retaining information.
Reading backwards is the best tool for editing.
