Never deprive someone of hope; it might be all they have.
Volunteer. Sometimes the jobs no one wants conceal big opportunities.
Remember that what's right isn't always popular, and what's popular isn't always right.
Spend your time and energy creating, not criticizing.
Do your homework and know your facts, but remember it's passion that persuades.
It's not your job to get people to like you, it's your job to like people.
