—— 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.
