It is important to question and think
(original) not simply retain data / information. Be sceptical and critically
evaluate tangible (empirical) evidence. Explore your imagination and identify
the profound and novel connections between the ideas and detect the patterns.
This method is conducive to a constructive contribution.

Elaboration;
Remember you are a
human being first. Always pursue ‘happiness’ you define. Develop the dexterity
and wit of the brain so thoughts are executed with agile accuracy. Absorb
wisdom and prevent errors. Explore, research and live – extensive experience;
culture, history and human achievements. Do not fear ‘mistakes’ or being
‘wrong’. Do not waste time. Invest your time and energy into what matters to
you and people who make you happy (help those you can). Never expect anything
from anyone; they owe you nothing more beyond ‘legal duty’. Do not
follow/conform to the ‘norm’, pave your own path and no ‘short-cuts’. Embrace
your responsibilities (as a human being) and live with your decisions. Do not
base reaction on emotion. Tangible evidence is objective, opinion is subjective
(do not confuse with instinct). ‘Perception’ is dangerous and not necessarily
true. ‘Family’ is not defined by blood type. Be honest and critical
(constructive) of self. Your body is a fragile vessel; look after it as you do
your brain. Do not gain at an unreasonable expense of/to others or the
universe. Respect. Question and challenge everything, including the listed
above.
