Valuable Lessons

1.) Every single person you encounter in life knows something you don't and has something in their life and past that is probably worth collapsing to the ground in an uncontrollably sobbing heap over, so be nice to each other and tell good jokes.

2.) There are always going to be people who focus on the negative and point it out to you. You have to ask yourself "is this person between me and what I want to do?" If the answer is no, ignore them completely. Do not surround yourself with this negativity and don't let it define you.

3.) Do not surround yourself with apathy. Passion is a dying element in our society and having it is important.

4.) Procrastinating isn't completely bad. Working under pressure is how some people do their best work.

5.) It's okay to be bat at math. Everyone has things they're good at and things they're bad at.

6.) Being different is not wrong.

7.) Two people can just not like each other, sometimes for seemingly no reason. Don't dwell on the relationships that don't work, but rather spend time improving those that do.

8.) There is a classification of people known as geeks. These people are some of the coolest people you will ever meet. Don't let the label scare you.

9.) The mentality that everyone who is not exactly like you is a toxic mentality to have, and those with that mentality are not people to surround yourself or emulate.

10.) The ones who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones that do.

11.) Enjoying things you like is not wasting your life. Enjoying things is the exact opposite of wasting your life. I don’t care if what you like to do is stare at digital clocks or ceiling fans. Immersing yourself in your interests cannot be measured in value.
