To my future child,
Over the years I have collected a lot of advices and kept the ones that are quite useful. Here are some simple rules so you can navigate the boring stuff of life and enjoy the less boring parts of it.
I hope that they will help you and that you may add some more to them, pass them along so people you care about will enjoy life with you, because a life in solitary and with no one to share what you know with, is a life not well lived.
If you are on a caloric deficit in order to loose weight watch out for the small stuff you may do every day that will add up calories. If you put milk in your coffee that could be ok, but if you drink five coffees per day then this can add up.
Try to create free content around your work that other people can get value of.
Watch out for the minority rule. Once you have 10% or more woman at a party you cannot only serve beer. Most men although will drink wine. So you only need one set of glasses if you will serve only wine.
Every mistake you make when you are working for someone or a cooperation will go on your permanent record which will follow your around. Now imagine a freelancer, he/she can make a mistake but can always try to make up for it and pick up a new client.
Be with a partner that is emotional stable and mature. He/she should have figured out his/her emotional problems and be mentally healthy.
Meditation is a lot of things. The simplest of all is to just focus on breathing and listen to it.
Never ever be with someone that is jealous, needy or a stalker.
In the absence of reliable data one must reduce risk.
If you look for the best way to quickly escape reality, read a book. It engages most of your senses quickly. When you read a book you fantasize about it, your eyes and hands are occupied with it.
There was a rumor going around that Aristotle Onassis would have dinner before going on a date. Be prepared and don't get angry when things don't go the way you planned on a date with your spouse.
