Quotes: “It's okay to fail because when failure happens, we will learn from it. So I encourage you guys to figure out what you are supposed to learn from your failure, and have the responsibility to move on, and just do it differently next time.” - Aaron Amuchastegui

“If I could just turn the volume down to 90%, then the traits that get me in all the trouble could actually create a whole bunch of success for me. So, if I still had the drive but didn't need to be quite as extreme, things would be good or better. And that's been my secret to success.” - Aaron Amuchastegui

“Be aware of why you're doing something or why you want to do something. We all have things we want to do and decisions that we make. And the sooner we are, the younger in life that we try to figure out what's causing us to do this, that'll help make sure we're making good decisions.” - Aaron Amuchastegui Takeaways: It is okay to have the mindset of doing your best at all times. But make sure to control and tone it down, leave some time for other things, and learn to balance your priorities. Do that, and it helps everything else be better.

Learning from others is the ultimate thing you need to do. Having mentors doesn’t mean you won’t make mistakes, but it helps you to make fewer and shallow mistakes. Additionally, taking lessons from other people puts you way ahead of everybody else.

Know who you are. Be aware of the reason why you want to do or achieve something. And the sooner you figure it out, the more you will make good decisions.

Conclusion: Remember that balance is key. Giving your best is admirable, but don't forget to make room for life's other aspects. When you fail, learn from it. Make it your responsibility to move on and be better each time. Learning from mentors is a valuable shortcut to success; it won't eliminate mistakes but will make them less painful. Lastly, self-awareness is your compass; knowing why you do what you do leads to better decisions.
