Well, another year is going to pass. A lot of things I learned over the past year and I would like to have a short list of those that really affect me as an individual. What do you know, this stubborn web designer still knows how to learn from experiences.

• It Takes Money to Make Money - Why pay for something you can get for free? Very true. You may or may not. But it depends on the rewards. Most of the time, when you pay, you risk, and when you risk, the rewards are great.
• Greed is Good - Greed is a bad thing… Well, actually, it depends. Greed is a good motivation to get more of something. Always be on top of your head and be a master of greed. Take over greed as something that fire up your emotions to get more, not be taken over by it.
• Don’t be afraid to be alone - Whether it’s quitting your dayjob or moving out by yourself, you’ll end up amazing yourself at what you alone can accomplish. It’ll always be a struggle in the beginning (ie quitting your job), but unless you truly think you’re horribly weak, you’ll notice that things will just start clicking. You’ll find a way.
• Always Takes Risks - No matter how many times you fail, it only takes 1 success to forget all the failures.
• Pay It Forward - All the blessings you received are there to be shared. Money is just something that can help you enjoy life, not run by it. Help people how to make money instead of giving them some. Knowing that helping that person and knowing that he can’t pay you back for life is a feeling that you can treasure forever.
• Be Crazy - Successful people are.
• Never Give Up Something You Truly Believe In
• There’s No Substitute for Hard Work
• The Blogosphere is full of make money online & SEO crap.

How about you? What did you learn this year?
