   ——   The most valuable things:

  • Tell the truth. Don’t say things you don’t mean.
  • Act so that you can tell the truth about how you act. Don’t go along with things you don’t agree with.
  • Pursue what is meaningful, not what is convenient.
  • Be precise in your speech.
  • Pay attention.
  • Be careful who you share good/bad news with.
  • Imagine who you could be, and then aim single-mindedly at that.
  • Do not allow yourself to become arrogant or resentful. Forgive yourself (and others).
  • Compare yourself to who you were yesterday, not to who someone else is today.
  • Do not carelessly denigrate social institutions or artistic achievement.
  • Treat yourself as if you were someone that you are responsible for helping.
  • Make friends with people who want the best for you. Take out toxicity.
  • Don't avoid something frightening if it stands in your way — and don't do unnecessarily dangerous things.
  • Read something written by someone great.
  • Don't let bullies get away with it.
  • Report if you see something that needs fixing and propose a solution.
  • Think about others, be mindful. But don't waste time on losers.
  • Come prepared.
  • Be grateful.
