Advice for the Young

Keith Ferrazzi has posted a question on his site about basic things you wished you had done as a teenager to boost your career and life.

I know that I wish I had learned early to recognize the people who cared and learned trust them. I did embody a fierce dedication to trust myself as I got my hands dirty learning as many skill sets as possible so that I would always have the power to make money and never get bored.

Here are my tips to the young (I'll probably add more later):

1. Try absolutely everything (within legal reason)
2. Embrace your invincibility.
3. Decide your passions.
4. Develop hobbies.
5. Continue to build your skill sets that will support your future endeavors
6. Learn to support your friends
7. Learn how to say thank you
8. Learn how to take a compliment
9. Learn how to be a good winner (I've seen some pretty bad behavior after colleagues won a match)
10. Become a musician (it's a meditative & powerful brain stimulant)
11. Become a painter (this balances the bias of the left brain)
12. Read voraciously
    
13. Read a variety
    
14. Read philosophy
15. Form your own opinion. (If you don't know how, ask a trusted mentor/teacher how she feels about the article.)
16. Be a perpetual student of life
17. Help others
18. Become a confidant
19. Beome a mentor
20. Embrace karma
21. Embrace humor (life is too short for sour grapes)
22. Travel
23. Embrace other lifestyles
24. Embrace other cultures
    
25. Above all: Trust yourself.

Obviously, this is a WIP (work-in-progress) list. What would you add?
