1, 2, and 4 are okay. In 5, there should be the word "as" between "are" and "lovers." In 3, replace the word "there" with "it."

All of your numbered points are incorrectly spaced. They should be written like this:

1. "The world is not a friendly place. To survive, you have to fight."

not like this:

1."The world is not a friendly place. To survive, you have to fight."

Oaihan Schizerion1. "The world is not a friendly place. To survive, you have to fight."

Correct.

Oaihan Schizerion2. "Positive mindset brings good results"

"mindset" is normally countable, so we would normally say "A positive mindset ...". The sentence is missing its full stop.

Oaihan Schizerion3. "People don't hike this mountain because it is said that there's a cannibalistic tribe in there."

"in" seems slightly unexpected in reference to a mountain. It may not be impossible, e.g. if the mountain is heavily forested.

Oaihan Schizerion4. "My mother just had a fall and she's in a hospital now. I have to go to see her."

When someone is a patient, we normally say "in hospital" rather than "in a hospital".

Oaihan Schizerion5. "Wyatt and Sophia's roles in the movie are lovers."

This isn't logical. Roles cannot be lovers. Also, it should be "Wyatt's and Sophia's roles".
