1. Stand up straight with your shoulders back.
2. Treat yourself like someone you love.
3. Make friends with people who want the best for you.
4. Compare yourself with who you were yesterday, not who someone else is today.
5. Don’t let your children do anything that makes you dislike them.
6. Set your house in order before criticizing the world. Put in your best effort to make your life better, regardless of what’s outside.
If you don’t like your life right now, ask yourself what can you do to make your own life better.
7. Pursue what is meaningful, not what is easy. Strive to do things that are meaningful to you and others. Think long term, not just short term.
8. Tell the truth, or at least don’t lie. Trust is very important for us. We trust that somebody won’t kill me. Try not to lie.
9. Assume that the person you are listening to might know something you don’t. What you don’t know is more important than what you do know. This way you can have a real conversion with that person and learn something from them.
10. Be precise in your speech. Clear and focused. People who present the best arguments and stories win.
11. Do not bother children when they are skateboarding. Let children live and push themselves. This is how people grow and become great.
12. Pet a cat or dog if you see one. Find beauty in little moments. Enjoy the simplicity of life. Sometimes suffering is too much to bear. If a dog wags its tail, play with them.
Learn to be happy. Choose happiness. Break it down into manageable timeframes.
