Live a boring life. A monastic one. If you're not willing to risk failure, you're not willing to have success.

listen and listen well. ive been lucky enough to have not gone through this but have known many men who have.
you meet a girl, get her pregnat and marry her. maybe down the line you have another kid. then you go through a terribly emotionaly painful divroce, she moves on with her life and is banging someone else and meanwhile you are paying her child support for your kids.
women. women my friend are the devils best tool for ruining a man.
Obviously the best way to keep things flowing smoothly is to stay the hell away from women until you know that you are ready in life to settle down. Always be a faithful man and ONLY look for a woman who will be faithful to you.
If you can do all this you will be ahead of 99.9% of the population.
good luck my friend.

Drink socially but not enough to put your life in danger, smoke a little if you desire but not enough to knacker your lungs, party well, but remember to sleep from time to time, work hard but always take breaks, eat healthily if that is possible as a student - potatoes, rice, vegetables etc are cheap and you don't need a load of expensive meat, always treat people as you would like to be treated, but most importantly make sure you laugh a lot and try and surround yourself with happy positive people. Don't waste time on those who bring you down.

You need to have a vision of where you want to be in 10, 20 years. Then work backwards. What did this person do to get themselves where they are? What certifications did they get, what people did they get in touch with and stay in touch with? What did they do day by day to earn success?
Then you do those things, starting today, which will get you to where you want to be in X years. Write down tangible goals and give yourself deadlines to complete them. Put up reminders of why you're doing what you're doing (reminders of the vision of your future self). That way you will never forget why you're working so hard.

Take life in moderation, study enough but not to much that you do not have a socail life, but at the same time party enough not to mess your studies up. And it would be wise to save some cash aside, and try not to get into too much debt.

You will mess up. You will make mistakes. This is unavoidable so accept it.
But do not despair. These setbacks are part of the great adventure of life. Be excited by the future and seize it. Do not be afraid.

Then dont you need to understand fear? why you have it?why you think in terms of future and miss the present moment? All these questions are implicit in your question. Therefore to avoid messing up go deeply inside and seek out the answers.

Take care of your finances and don't get into bad debt (car loan, student loan & mortgage are reasonable debt - credit card debt is bad debt).
Money may not buy happiness, but it does by security and options which can really make life easier.

follow your heart, let you head help. listern to advice given but always do what you want to to, dont be told what to do if you feel it is wrong. Help others the way you would want to be helped.
Most of all be happy
