"Money only comes when we have value. The higher our value, the more irreplaceable we are, and the higher the money that will come. Value here can take the form of a new and first solution to existing problems," said the author of the book Kambing Jantan.

6. Don't Get Trapped in Self-Serving Bias

KLovers, do you always blame others for your failures and, on the other hand, feel proud of yourself when you achieve success?
