* If you are working on someone else's crappy idea, think about working on your own crappy idea.
* Call people you might need later when you don't need them. Or they tend to disappear when you do need them.
* Learn about the stock market and invest right away. You'll make money, lose money, then understand money.
* Build as many projects as time allows. It's nice to have the option to pick and choose.
* If you don't do the thing you want to do today, 5 years from now you'll remember and wonder how different your life would have been if you did.
* Don't ask people what they think about your idea. They'll either be supportive or mean to you. None of these are about your idea.
* Have a conversation with someone who doesn't speak your language. Make the effort to understand them. Mr Tereso, came out of nowhere and taught me life lessons that changed my life. He spoke no English, and i spoke Duolingo level Japanese.
* I'll end with this. If you are bored, create something. Make a clay pot, a drawing on paper, a JavaScript file, a wooden structure, a shoe rack, a sand castle, a matchstick home, a story. Make something you can look at the end result and you'll never get bored again...
