—— 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.
