Advice for Still Living Bipeds...

1. Don't kill yourself. Live. Know yourself and your responsibilities, who you affect, and who you could affect.

2. Mean something. Do meaningful things. If you aren't doing this, then take more time for yourself, no matter that you make some people mad. Ultimately, maybe not in the short time, mind you, but in the long term, they will thank you for it. You will enrich yourself, physically, mentally, and spiritually.

3. Life is a journey. Take it seriously, but don't take it too seriously. If it becomes a Sisyphean task, then you are either trying too hard, or not trying hard enough. Connect. Intellect must always connect with emotion. The disconnect between the two creates psychopaths: you must not let you, nor your friends, nor your associates, nor, least of all, your children succumb to this malady.

4. Always learn. Don't be intellectually lazy; that is the worst form of laziness.

5. Take account of your sins and follies. Ask yourself every week: Am I honest? That is the way to be honest to yourself. Always take account. If something is amiss, then pine and lies awake at night. But don't let it bother you for to long. Change. Always ask yourself: How can I change. Then ask yourself again whether you have changed enough. Eventually, you will suffer less stress. Honesty will become second-nature to you.
