Mine:
- Learn a second language and keep up with the language your parents speak. You will regret being a brat about not wanting to speak this language especially as your family members pass.
- The only opinions about you that really matter are from the people you respect and who respect you back
- Being a kind humble person, who leads their political convictions with curiosity and not self righteousness is important. As that one person said: “I am no hero and neither are you.”
- Don’t throw out your old media (mix cds, tapes, records, photos, zinee, etc) because you think they’re embarrassing. They either will not be embarrassing later or they will become expensive and you can tell them for mad bucks.
Dont listen to the advice of unsuccessful people. Sure, keep it as a cautionary tale in the back of the your mind what not to do. But concentrate on the the suggestions of people who had success.
But success isnt only meassured in material form or status. Understanding what makes YOU happy is way more important. Money and status obviosly will help with that to some extent. But its important to not loose focus by chasing imaginary dragons.
