Rashmika Mandanna, who is basking in the success of her Telugu movie Pushpa: The Rise, shared a lengthy note on Instagram expressing her excitement. “It’s been 5 years of me in the film industry.. like woahhhh how did that happen.. guys..” she wrote, alongside a picture of herself.

Penning down the lessons learnt, the actor said it is important to value each moment, stay happy and be grateful for the opportunities. "It’s been 5 years of me in the film industry.. like woahhhh how did that happen.. guys.. couple of things I’ve learnt all these years-

1- time is flying by too fast make memories each day..
2- how to be truly genuinely happy from the bottom of the heart .. I am happy..
3- I’ve realised nothing in life is easy .. got to always always keep fighting for what you want.. be alert be on your toes be grounded be grateful but always keep fighting
4- but also be patient.. wait be patient.. things will take its place.. it’s might be hard and taxing but be patient and calm also.
5- other people always have something to teach you.. so always be open to learn.. you should be able to unlearn and learn many things..
6- don’t carry emotional baggages physical baggages mental baggages.. Let go! Learn to let go.
7- give time for things in life you want to work out.. example if it’s career - give time to that..
if it’s love- give time to that..
if it’s family- give time to that..
if it’s you- give time to yourself..
your time is yours.. so you choose but remember time and flights will never wait for you.
8- eats cleaner, sleep better, workout harder, smile bigger, love more openly.
9- people don’t owe you anything so you don’t have to do favours to anyone, you can and you should think of yourself first.
And many more.. I'll keep. going on and on... I'll speak of all of this one day but for now... these."
