Buy whatever kids are selling on card tables in their front yard.

Be kinder than necessary.

When you have nothing important or interesting to say, don't let anyone persuade you to say it.

Don't burn bridges. You'll be surprised how many times you have to cross the same river.

Seek opportunity, not security. A boat in the harbor is safe, but in time its bottom will rot out.

Become the kind of person who brightens a room just by entering it.

Volunteer. Sometimes the jobs no one wants conceal big opportunities.
