Here are five big takeaways from Trump's stunning victory. Don't forget them:
1) There are second (and third!) acts in American life. The famous American novelist F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote that "there are no second acts in American lives." He has once again been proven wrong. You can emerge, later (or even very late) in life and achieve great things.
2) A setback is nothing more than a setup for a comeback. If you have the right attitude and refuse to be deterred, you can emerge from what seems like failure and turn it into the springboard for success.
3) Don't complicate things. Keep the goal that you have in mind clear and simple. In fact, if you can't sum it up in three or four words ("MAGA") it may not even be worth achieving.
4) No guts, no glory. If you're not willing to get out there and take a chance, you may never take the first daring steps you need to reach the top. Risk is part of the journey.
5) Trust your instincts. A famous philosopher once described instinct as the essence of common sense and, added that "enough of it is genius." We've just witnessed the power -- indeed, the supremacy -- of instinct.
