01. People often deserve a second chance, but almost never a third.
02.  Words are poor security.
03. Back up the files on your PC.
04. Good friends ignore each other after something humiliating happens. Great friends pretend nothing happened at all.
05. We’re all in denial of one thing or another.
06. Looking at something changes it.
07. Be passionate, but also be realistic.
08. Always love to your greatest ability. Try your best at compromise. That way, if it doesn’t work out, you won’t regret anything.
09. Bad things do happen to good people.
10. Do something you enjoy for five minutes a day. If you don’t know where to start, perform reenactments of euphoric soccer triumphs. (Works for me.)
11. It is a very dangerous thing to do exactly what you want.
12. First impressions are often completely worthless.
13. There are things such as unwritten laws.
14. Give your friends maps. (i.e. Encourage them to reach for the sky. It’s the best gift you can give someone.)
15. Never settle for just “getting by” emotionally. Don’t avoid terror, nostalgia, or infatuation. In my opinion, those are the best and worst feelings at the same time.
16. Try to be open-minded. (This doesn’t seem that hard to understand, but so many people forget about it.)
17. Personal glory does not last forever.
18. The things you do now are the things you will reminisce about in your later years.
19. Don’t burn bridges.
20. Most of the time, what you are looking for is right in front of you.
