I love this kind of thing
“An Incomplete Manifesto for Growth.” Especially…
1. Allow events to change you. You have to be willing to grow. Growth is different from something that happens to you. You produce it. You live it. The prerequisites for growth: the openness to experience events and the willingness to be changed by them.
14. Don’t be cool. Cool is conservative fear dressed in black. Free yourself from limits of this sort.
18. Stay up late. Strange things happen when you’ve gone too far, been up too long, worked too hard, and you’re separated from the rest of the world.
