  You are not as smart, or stupid, as you think. Don’t worry about the future…The real troubles in your life will never be solved by a presentation or spreadsheet, and will always involve other people. And people are unpredictable…
  Spend a little time every day doing nothing.
  Listen.
  Don’t expect organizations to be as committed to you as you are to them. They don’t work that way. If you do find one that is as committed, never leave.
  Don’t judge yourself by how much money you make…
  Be nice to people for the heck of it.
  You will most certainly face difficult choices. In most cases it helps to think of what choice maximizes gain, instead of agonizing over what minimizes loss.
  Invest in a good suit, pair of shoes and get a shave. Thanks to society’s shallowness, the returns will be considerable.
  Calm down.
  Pay attention to advice from people who have a stake in your happiness, and not a stake in your success.
