1. Be resourceful. Know where and how to get your lemons.
2. Overcoming shyness.
3. "No customers mom." Patience. You think businesses shut down after an hour of no walk-ins?
4. "I'm hungry." Well is it your breaktime yet? You think papa gets up in the middle of work to eat whenever he wants? There are schedules to follow.
5. "I give up mom. It's hard." No work nor business is easy. If papa and I gave up everytime it got hard at work, then what would you and your sister have to eat?
6. Be grateful to those who helped you along the way. The neighbor who gave you lemons. Papa who set up your tent. Your sister who kept you company. Team work is very important at work and in business.
7. If it did not work today, re-assess your strategy. Then try again. Do not give up.
8. Whatever path you choose to take in life, love it. Don't get a job "just because". Find one that will motivate you everyday to rise and shine. Only then will success follow hard work and passion.
