    Is there one thing you were told, or have retold that strikes a chord of resonance as a truism worth seeking?

    Mine:
    Always seek something you enjoy to do, something that sustains you, don't worry about the career potential, income potential.
    or
    Be nice, it will always make a difference. The only people who can thrive despite the network of other people (Picasso, Mozart, etc.) are indeed few and far between. The rest of us need to work cooperatively to succeed.

    When i asked a very rich (10 figures rich) friend of mine what was his key to success. He said, Never fall in love with your investment and dont get gready. This advise has served me very well.

    Every time spent thinking before making a decision is time wasted. Getting it wrong wouldn't be as bad.

    -Do unto others as you would have others do unto you

    -Keeping track of a bunch of lies is difficult and you will slip up. Tell the truth and you will never have to keep track of anything.

    -Always remember that anything you put in writing is permanent and indisputable and may not always remain in the hands of the person you intended

    -Don't ever forget to stop and enjoy the view. aka Enjoy the journey while en route to your destination. aka be happy with who you are and what you have, don't believe you will only become happy when you get what you want in the future

    -The secret of life is to remember what's important. And that is family, friends, your health, and happiness. Money, houses and cars are not on the list.



    Sorry, it's more than one, but I think they are all about equally important :)

    I think the quote in my sig is one of the most meaningful i've heard


    "Life to me is the greatest of all games. The danger lies in treating it as a trivial game, a game to be taken lightly, and a game in which the rules don't matter much. The rules matter a great deal. The game has to be played fairly or it is no game at all. And even to win the game is not the chief end. The chief end is to win it honorably and splendidly" - Ernest Shackleton

    Learn to love. Learn to forgive yourself.
    The most precious gift you can give yourself is learning how to forgive others.
