You don't need a man in order to be taken seriously.

Eliza Hamilton-Schuyler died at the age of 97. Throughout her long life, she did outstanding things and continued so many legacies. Once Alexander Hamilton died in 1804, she never remarried. She did so many amazing things without a spouse.

Do not throw away your shot.

If you have a chance to start something that could possibly impact so many people, take it.

Tomorrow there may be more people fighting with you.

Maybe the odds are stacked against you right now, but tomorrow is a whole new day with fresh possibilities.

Don't let others completely control your life.

Alexander Hamilton kinda ruined his reputation by publishing a pamphlet about his affair. (This scandal was something only a handful of people knew about.)

Know when to keep your mouth shut and wait for the right opportunity.

In some situations, waiting is the only thing that you can do. So when that case comes, just remember: talk less and smile more.

But also know when you need to speak up.

There are times when you need your voice to be heard, especially in this election year with the new administration.

It's okay to start a revolution (most times).

Speak out; Get Loud; Don't let people suppress the issues that are important to you.

Sometimes you don't live to see your glory.

Hamilton died too soon. He never got to fully see the impact he made in our government. He had done so much, but received little recognition for it until recently.

Thank you Lin-Manuel Miranda for continuing A. Ham's legacy.

Thank you for telling his story.
