Some battles aren’t worth fighting, even if you’re “right.” Learn which things are worth the time and effort and which things should be let go. 1You’ll find that most battles people fight are a giant waste of time, money and energy. Make sure you have a goal worth pursuing. Learn empathy. You don’t know what makes people act the way they do. If you try to put yourself in someone else’s shoes, you might find yourself acting a bit more compassionately. While you’re at it, 2try being kinder to people. Give people the benefit of the doubt. Don’t take every slight against you so personally. Don’t take yourself so seriously—no else does. Learn to manage money. Learn to save, even if it’s a little bit at a time. You don’t have to immediate- ly spend every cent you have. If you can start to put aside a few dollars on a regular interval now, you 3have a much easier time later in life. Many hardships in life are due to people not being able to man- age money effectively. While you’re at it, learn how to use debt effectively. It can be an asset or a liability. Learn to reevaluate and admit when you’re wrong. It’s never too late to retreat from an incorrect 4path. Don’t waste your time doing the wrong thing. Avoid drama and toxic people. There’s plenty of naturally occurring misery, there’s no need to add more. Learn to de-escalate situations. Also, learn the difference between an inconvenience and an 5emergency and respond accordingly. (Hint: emergencies involve a hospital, jail or morgue. Everything else is an inconvenience.) Don’t overreact. Don’t lose yourself trying to impress others. The people you try to impress in high school won’t remember your name the day after graduation. Don’t take it personally, you probably won’t remember 6their names either. You are the average of the people you choose to surround yourself with. Choose wisely and you’ll 7excel. Choose poorly and you’ll fail. Appreciate what you have, even if it’s not everything you want. Even on your worst day, there are bil- lions of people who would give everything they’ve ever had in order to trade places with you on your 8“worst day.” 9Attitude is everything. You can be negative or positive about almost anything. It’s okay to party and have fun, but don’t make that your only reason for living. Don’t squander 10your education. It’s one of the only things someone can’t take from you.
