7 things most people take a lifetime to learn: 1. The more confident you are, the quieter you become. 2. We give our lives purpose. If life feels purposeless, that's your fault. 3. You'll never look good trying to make someone else look bad. 4. Be romantic about the little things. Be a realist about the big things. 5. Most people are afraid of their imagination. 6. Spontaneity is a catalyst for creativity. 7. You should either have a supportive partner or no partner. There's no 3rd option.
