1. Don't be afraid to fall in love with something and
pursue it with intensity.
2. Know, understand, take pride in, practice, develop,
exploit and enjoy your greatest strengths.
3. Learn to free yourself from the expectations of
others and to walk away from the games they impose
on you. Free yourself to play your own game.
4. Find a great teacher or mentor who will help you.
5. Don't waste energy trying to be well rounded.
6. Do what you love and can do well.
7. Learn the skills of interdependence.
