Insisting on being bored is immature and destructive. Like a marathon runner bah-humbugging his way through the alleys of Paris.

You do not have to be the best at everything. You are not the best at everything. You do not have to be the best at everything. You are not the best at everything. Repeat until you believe it.

You can be anyone you want to be. Being someone not guarantee survival. Survival does not guarantee prosperity. Prosperity does not guarantee happiness.

You don’t have to be older to be wiser. But time brings with it gifts of opportunity… Opportunities for embarrassments, mistakes, successes. And chances to be forced into making painful decisions. So although age doesn’t guarantee wisdom, it does guarantee more opportunities to have gained it.

Quickness to genuinely accept responsibility for wrongdoings is a reliable indicator of maturity.

Begin a story with the words, “At last!”.
