LIFESTYLE BY BRIAN LEE
- Marry your best friend: If the person you’re the most comfortable with isn’t your spouse, make them! (Assuming this person is not your family member)
- Don’t stop learning: If you start coasting through life, you’re gonna lose. Always stretch your intellect.
- Forgive as much as possible. Grudges achieve little.
- Do something that’s not for money.
- Time passes by a lot faster than you’d think. This effect accelerates with age.
- Some things can’t be learned; they can only be experienced.
- Wealth is relatively unimportant.
- Don’t lie to yourself.
- The past is something you learn from. It is not something you live in.
