Great list that in my opinion transcends age. I see value in most of these lessons and I am 70. I wish I had been more attentive to number 7 when I was in my 30s. So important.
Makes sense. As for 27 (When you get very eager and excited about anything, stop), I think I understand where you’re coming from but could use a bit more clarification. Do you say this because if you’re too eager it’s easy to quickly become irrational and act with clouded judgement? Do you mean it’s better to stop, reorient yourself/calm yourself down and then resume the activity or to stop it for good?
Great wisdom in your list. Happy birthday.
These are gold. Thanks, Will.
Happy Birthday!!!
Happy Birthday Will!

There is some great wisdom here. I really like 18,19 and 20.
I especially like 8 and 29.
Definitely gonna work on 19, 20 and 35.
Why stop when eager or excited about something?
Because your judgment is likely to be clouded by your attachment to it. Gamblers, for example, are eager and excited.
Why Curiosity is usually veiled effeminacy? Could you expand a little on that?
Dipping into lots of different topics is often a pleasurable distraction from doing the hard work that actually matters.

Could you elaborate on 27 and 34? Great list by the way.
Thanks. What about 27 and 34 specifically?
