Read at least one book a month. This is self-serving, obviously. It's a proven fact that people who read buy more books than people who don't read. In truth, I wish you'd read ten books a month, or at least buy that many.

The person who failed often knows how to avoid future failures.

Never, ever underestimate the importance of having fun.
