Manifesto

This document contains my personal beliefs on how to live, constructed out of pieces of information from books I've read, people I've met, and experiences I've had. It's a way for me to remember who I am, and catch inconsistencies in how I respond to events in the world.

• Do things you don't know how to do
• See as much of the world as possible
• Know your worth
• Look outside your own world
• Embrace naïvety
• Don't waste time
• Most people are too risk-averse: things in life are rarely as risky as they seem
• Study your mistakes
• A handful of truly close friends is better than a hundred acquaintances
• Cultivate quality time with yourself, others, and your interests
• Avoid social comparison
• Go out of your way to be around smart, ambitious, interesting, talented people
