his list will include film and sports stars :p

Doing this may give you more clarity into what's actually going on indies you; in addition you get another perspective to your problem or opinion.

Treat people who you don't know directly or through familial or friendship ties, well. 

This includes the help at your home, the waiter at the restaurant, the worker at the construction site and many others that don't come to mind right now.

Remember, these people are doing jobs just like you are; they aren't your slaves.And the major difference between them and you is education. You were fortunate enough to receive one, they may have not been so.

These are all the points that come to mind right now. Might add some more to these later.
 You realise that there is just no end to your wishes and expectations and more importantly you realize the will of God prevails and not ours.
 I may not be that much older (22) but if I can share my grain of experience, it would be:

- Reserve some time of the day to think about what you want in life, to contemplate the big picture of yourself, this will help you to take big decisions more assertively


- Use projection, visit yourself from the past and check your mistakes, not to regret them, but to learn what you can about them. Also, try to imagine yourself on the future, looking back at yourself now, you would be proud, indifferent or ashamed?

Basically, in this time-requesting society it's important to take some time to "do nothing" and just think about things that are bigger than everyday's worries

I may be wrong, but up to now I'm being happy with my life.

 The realizations of other people do not matter, your own realizations 
matter. 

2) Others incantations of what is and what will be is just shy of a religion

3) Pursue your own path

4) Even the speaker's life profit is just that, his religion, his specific veneer of looking at life and the world and saying "Life is a collection of remembered experiences". It is BS to say the least - and it leaves you wanting to leave the present moment to jump off an airplane, and even while doing that, wanting to swim with the dolphins - do you see the utter ridiculous nature of such perspectives? It definitely catches attention to bring a goat to a conference. It makes one an "experience junkie" - which seems to be the contemporary trend in the US; as if that is somehow more elevated than cube life.

5) Being in the moment is the only choice you have - be it a painful one, or a lighthearted one

6) What you need to know is a technique to be present in every moment and that will let you arrive at your own conclusions and challenge them yourself over and over again until you become your own master

7) And when you get to such a spot of utter self-confidence in your own conclusions, you will have no motivation to change the world or paint rosy or gloomy pictures about it or to escape the present moment. Moreover, you would not want to spell out your realizations for others - you will treasure them as your own and more importantly only applicable to you and just you
 Don't be afraid of the drudge job.  Everyone says "go for what you love".
When you're young working for what you love often gets you overcommitted to your job and your managers use this against you because they know you and know you don't have many alternative options.

So take the drudge job.  Don't waste the little income you get on rubbish or hobbies, use it get yourself aimed at a career/industry you'll enjoy.  This means avoiding credit and avoiding too many mathoms.

The bonus with a drudge job and avoiding debt...is you can drop it for something better whenever YOU want.  you do a drudge job well, get good employment history, then change.  You can even change drudge jobs just for the heck of it, or to relocate, or get close to better training.  Or if the hours/commute/overtime is not lining up for your career aims.

If you get a tough start in your chosen career, you'll be less willing to turn down bad opportunities, less willing to walk away, more willing to do free overtime, or work for less.

The best deal always goes to the person who can afford to walk away.
