Whatever you do in life, whether it's digging ditches, kicking down doors or working at some fortune 500 company, doesn't matter. Even if you wind up digging ditches, be the best damn ditch digger that ever lived.
Know the difference between true friends and acquaintances.
Do the right thing. If if doesn't feel right, chances are it probably isn't.
Have the balls to speak up if you see something wrong and do something about it. To walk by, say nothing and do nothing just said it's okay and sets a whole new standard. You have also just made yourself a sheeple.
Notice the positives of those around you and acknowledge such. It's always more common to notice a screw up and give someone an ass chewing. And if that is the case, do it behind closed doors and out of earshot from everyone else. It's none of their business.
There's a time and a place for everything. Educating yourself and learning when exactly that is could make you a genius.
Work hard, but not so much that life passes you by. No one's ever been on their deathbed wishing they had spent more time on the job.
And when it is time to go, remember that you can't take it with you, but also, what you leave behind as your legacy may be more wealthy than all the riches in the world. :2c:
