This should be an

1. The most important person in your life is the person who agreed to share their life with you. Treat
them as such.
2. You might live a long life, or you might live a short one who knows. But either way, trust me when I
say that youre going to wish you took better care of yourself in your youth.
3. Stu is just stu. Dont hold onto material objects, hold onto time and experiences instead.
4. Jealousy destroys relationships. Trust your signicant other, because who else are you supposed to
trust?
5. People always say, Make sure you get a job doing what you love! But that isnt the best advice. The
right job is the job you love some days, can tolerate most days, and still pays the bills. Almost nobody has
a job they love every day.
6. If youre getting overwhelmed by life, just return to the immediate present moment and savour all that
is beautiful and comforting. Take a deep breath, relax.

7. Years go by in the blink of an eye. Dont marry young. Live your life. Go places. Do things. If you have
the means or not. Pack a bag and go wherever you can aord to go. While you have no dependents, dont
buy stu. Any stu. See the world. Look through travel magazines and pick a spot. GO!
8. Dont take life so seriously. Even if things seem dark and hopeless, try to laugh at how ridiculous life is.
9. A true friend will come running if you call them at 2am. Everyone else is just an acquaintance.
10. Children grow up way too fast. Make the most of the time you have with them.
11. Nobody ever dies wishing they had worked more. Work hard, but dont prioritize work over family,
friends, or even yourself.
12. Eat and exercise like youre a diabetic heart patient with a stroke so you never actually become one.
13. Maybe this one isnt as profound as the others, but I think its important Floss regularly, dental
problems are awful.

14. Dont take anyone elses advice as gospel. You can ask for advice from someone you respect, then
take your situation into consideration and make your own decision. Essentially, take your own advice is
my advice
15. The joints you damage today will get their revenge later. Even if you think theyve recovered
completely. TRUST ME!
16. We have one time on this earth. Dont wake up and realize that you are 60 years old and havent done
the things you dreamed about.
17. Appreciate the small things and to be present in the moment. What do I mean? Well, it seems today
like younger people are all about immediate gratication. Instead, why not appreciate every small
moment? We dont get to stay on this crazy/wonderful planet forever and the greatest pleasure can be
found in the most mundane of activities. Instead of sending a text, pick up the phone and call someone.
Call your mother, have a conversation about nothing in particular. Those are the moments to hold onto.
18. Pay your bills and stay the hell out of debt. If I could have paid myself all the money Ive paid out in
interest over the years, Id be retired already.
19. If you have a dream of being or doing something that seems impossible, try for it anyway. It will only
become more impossible as you age and become responsible for other people.
20. When you meet someone for the rst time, stop and realize that you really know nothing about them.
You see race, gender, age, clothes. Forget it all. You know nothing. Those biased assumptions that pop
into your head because of the way your brain likes categories, are limiting your life, and other peoples
lives.

#5 is what I tell all high school seniors. Pick the lifestyle you want, then the job you can tolerate to
achieve it. My job is not my life.

To be kind is more important than to be right. This advice goes a long way in any relationship.
