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:

1. read and write more
2. stay healthy and fit
3. networking is about giving
4. practice public speaking
5. stay teachable
6. find a mentor
7. keep in touch with friends
8. you are not your job
9. know when to leave
10. don’t spend what you don’t have
