Quarter of a century and this is all I came up with so far.
1. Nothing great ever came out of sticking to the rules
2. Good guys never come first
3. Patience is a virtue
4. Be passionate about all the things you do
5. You are your own best friend
6. Everything is relative
7. Be honest in everything you do
8. Treat ’em mean, keep ’em keen
9. Don’t think whether you can or can’t, think how and when
10. Don’t be a tightass
11. Ignorance is bliss
