Excellent Advice for Living: Wisdom I Wish I'd Known Earlier

Whenever you have a choice between being right or being kind be kind. No exceptions.

Expand your mind by thinking with your feet on a walk or with your hand in a notebook. Think outside your brain.

To transcend the influence of your heroes copy them shamelessly like a student until you get them out of your system.

When crises strike don’t waste them. No problems, no progress.

Don’t ever respond to a solicitation or a proposal on the phone. The urgency is a disguise for a scam.

If you meet a jerk, ignore them. If you meet jerks everywhere every day look deeper into yourself.
