What's the fastest way to get where I want?, how you sometimes associate your success with how much money you make, losing yourself in comparisonitis, why you should have really good mentors,  approaching to interviews with confidence, how you have to look the failures as opportunities instead of obstacles, evaluating how you keep doing things, being able to remove your ego, you should never build your life around chasing arbitrary goals and so much more!
