+ Always be a student. Learn more than a just superficial level about all the latest tech, including AI, blockchain, energy, healthcare, etc.

+ We're nothing without health, so focus meticulously on fostering a calm mind and strong body.

+ Do what's right with others, even if it means going against your own self interest. You will *never* regret doing what's right in the future.

+ Don't take things too seriously, learn to laugh at the world and at yourself.

+ Patriotism is deeply under appreciated today. JFK's famous words are more relevant than ever: "Ask not what your country can do for you – ask what you can do for your country". Partisanship will divide us all.

+ Keep your doors open to opportunities, but be extremely protective of your calendar. Do only a couple of short, but impactful, decisions every day.

+ Most importantly of all, you get one life. Do cool things, have fun, and make society better.
