Almost all of the finer things in life are free or nearly free. You don't have to pay for the sky at night or snow in the morning or a kiss on the nose when you're sick. Forgetting that may put you at the mercy of those who seek to profit by convincing you to want whatever it is they have to sell.

Know the names of past and current artists who are most famous for playing their instruments.

Know how to treat frostbite until you can get indoors.

Ultimately, our future is like a mirror. Whenever we face it, it always reflects what we left behind.

I would not encourage children or teens to multitask because we don't know where those efforts may lead.

I love having ten times as much stuff to do as I can possibly find time to do. That way, I can pick the one-tenth that I want to do most. But if I only have enough to just occupy all my time, I'm stuck doing all of whatever stuff it happens to be.

Be able to meet any deadline, even if your work is done less well than it would be if you had all the time you would have preferred.
