 - Be patient. No matter what.
 - Don’t badmouth: Assign responsibility, not blame. Say nothing
   of another you wouldn’t say to him.
 - Never assume the motives of others are, to them, less noble
   than yours are to you.
 - Expand your sense of the possible.
 - Don’t trouble yourself with matters you truly cannot change.
 - Expect no more of anyone than you can deliver yourself.
 - Tolerate ambiguity.
 - Laugh at yourself frequently.
 - Concern yourself with what is right rather than who is right.
 - Never forget that, no matter how certain, you might be wrong.
 - Give up blood sports.
 - Remember that your life belongs to others as well. Don’t risk
   it frivolously.
 - Never lie to anyone for any reason. (Lies of omission are
   sometimes exempt.)
 - Learn the needs of those around you and respect them.
 - Avoid the pursuit of happiness. Seek to define your mission
   and pursue that.
 - Reduce your use of the first personal pronoun.
 - Praise at least as often as you disparage.
 - Admit your errors freely and soon.
 - Become less suspicous of joy.
 - Understand humility.
 - Remember that love forgives everything.
 - Foster dignity.
 - Live memorably.
 - Love yourself.
 - Endure.
