#30 - Don't be a manipulator; be a motivator.
#31 - There are two kinds of people in life: givers and takers. Be a giver, not a taker. Takers get more than they wanted in the end, including the ire of people around them.
#232 - It is okay to be bored every now and then.
#312 - Never accept a "no" answer from someone who is not authorized to give you a "yes" answer.
#419 - Make eye contact when you talk to people.
#440 - Learn to use both sides of your brain. Consistently using only one side of your brain is like jumping on one foot for the rest of your life.
