Be sensitive to the plight of others. You have to know about the tragedies as well as the triumphs, the failures as well as the success.

Be a student, not a follower. Take interest in what someone says, then debate it, ponder it, and consider it from all angles.

The key to life is to become skillful enough to be able to do rewarding things.

It's important to learn from your mistakes, but it is BETTER to learn from other people's mistakes, and it is BEST to learn from other people's successes. It accelerates your own success.
