Many, many idealistic years ago I used to collect books of neat things, sayings, zen koans, and various other things to find serenity in life. Always very helpful. I used to keep many of these as a rotating email signature back in the 90s, which I honestly rarely ever enabled on messages.
Also very helpful are good lists of advice from people older and wiser. And I wanted to keep this wonderful, achievable list from Warren Buffet and apply it to all people not just the young:
Advice for the all the young people:
- read and write more
- stay healthy and fit
- networking is about giving
- practice public speaking
- stay teachable
- find a mentor
- keep in touch with friends
- you are not your job
- know when to leave
- don’t spend what you don’t have
