Everything has levels to it. Adhering to this is more important than adhering to consistency.

The people who care about you will listen. Keep talking until you find someone who listens.

You cannot expect every person to bend to your whims. If you want to get along, you will have to change, too.

Always pay attention. You can learn so much more when you look at the little things too.

Frequently stop and ask yourself if the things you've done reflect the kind of person you want to be.

The first step for anything and everything should be establishing an understanding. This also tends to be the hardest step. Forgoing this often creates problems.

Small decisions are just as important as big decisions, because there are a myriad more small decisions than big decisions. Small decisions shape who you are, big decisions reveal it.

You should always care about what other people think, but knowing whose opinions to discard is a learned skill. Other people are your world; you cannot just ignore them.

Familiarity is the enemy of creativity.

Through argument we become vulnerable, and through that vulnerability we become who we truly are and nobody else.

If you're going to end up alone with your thoughts, you may as well make some good use out of them.

Keep the things you love close to you, and keep the things you hate far away from you.

Don't let other people's value of time replace your own.
