Rely on others for happiness
Do your best to please everyone
Always follow the advice of your friends, teachers, coaches, parents, etc.
Be kind only when others are kind to you
Worry about things that are out of your control
Make sure you fit in
Don’t ask too many questions
Don’t educate yourself on your own time about things that are important to you
Be appropriate
Be realistic
Take yourself seriously
Avoid failure and rejection at all costs
Believe that you will get around to it “someday”
Travel or explore only when you have enough time, enough money and/or enough vacation days to take off
Don’t say ‘I love you’
Come up with awesome ideas, then talk yourself out of turning them into action
Spend your youth engaging in unsatisfying, unfulfilling work (as long as it pays the bills)
Do things that are comfortable and familiar
Don’t stray too far from the norm or from what others expect of you
Live for your resume not your legacy
Serve others when it is most convenient to you
Set goals and aspirations for yourself that you know, without a doubt, you will achieve
