I hate to quote nonconsecutively, but I thought this list is too useful to not distill:
- Start Saving for Retirement Now, Not Later
- Start Taking Care of Your Health Now, Not Later
- Don’t Spend Time with People Who Don’t Treat You Well
- Be Good to the People You Care About
- You can’t have everything; Focus On Doing a Few Things Really Well
- Don’t Be Afraid of Taking Risks, You Can Still Change
- You Must Continue to Grow and Develop Yourself
- Nobody (Still) Knows What They’re Doing, Get Used to It
- Invest in Your Family; It’s Worth It
- Be kind to yourself, respect yourself
Mark’s piece includes many quotes from his readers that are actually worth reading!
(All that said, I’d add an 11th here: stop writing top-N lists in an attempt to get clicks.)
