Do your homework before checking the latest news and entertainment on the Internet.
Send a postcard to your grandmother or a long lost friend and ask how they're doing; they'll be delighted.
Sit up straight, in 20 years you will be glad you did.
When you feel uncertain about how someone you speak to feels, ask them. They're likely to tell you.
Smile freely at people and say hi to the ones you're interested in carrying a conversation with. They might not be there tomorrow.
Keep an open mind and try something new as often as you can. You only learn by going outside your comfort zone, so you best get used to it.
Help others without expecting anything in return so that when it comes back to you, your life is richer by the positive surprises.
Make no promises you can't keep and keep all promises you make.
Blame no one, apologize unconditionally and learn from your mistakes.
Create art fearlessly and invite all criticism. Every experience is subjective but a valid way to feel about something.
Remember there are many ways of framing or interpreting anything you see or hear. Trust your gut reactions but verify your expectations with a level mind.
Catch someone doing something right, and let them know you value their work.
Choose freedom over stability and action over fear. Never surrender your freedoms for fear of the unknown.
Remember that very few people are actually genuinely malicious, most of them are simply troubled. People follow their feelings, no matter how misguided they may be.
Do something every day, no matter how little, to move you towards your goals.
Look for the motivations behind people's actions. Work with people who's motivations are aligned with yours.
Do not allow laziness kill your passions, or your passions deprive you of sleep. Neither path brings you satisfaction in the long term.
