Choose your words carefully
Pick your battles. Retreating to a stronger position is not a defeat. Mistakes are rarely lethal, unless you fail to learn. When your opponent is down, finish him. Never, ever give up.

If you believe that you can't, then you never will.

Life isn't fair, but play to win.

God is watching your every move.

Most of your friends are not your friends.

You will make mistakes. Learn from them.

Being smart may earn you money as an adult, but you are still going to get your ass kicked by the alpha on the school playground as a daily ritual in childhood. Everyone will turn a blind eye.

Give a beggar change if you have some to spare.

Everybody has a price.

Never "judge a book by its cover" because you'll only be right 90% of the time.

With the so many of the types of women out there I would tell my imaginary son or any boy I care about the following:

- don't trust a woman get a prenup

- always wear a condom and flush it or take it with you so you don't get unwanted surprises 9 months down the road

- go to school feed your mind and get a job that will support you from your studies. Liberal arts are nice but no future in those in modern society. Do STEM or a trade if you are not so academic

- Most people in this world are opportunists. Trust but verify.

- Love and take care of your parents. If they were good to you return the favour

The Oracle I like your rules except 26.

I would say give credit, be humble, but never take the blame for others.

1) It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice.

2) Trust everyone and everything until you have a good reason to doubt it, or them.

3) Always believe in a higher power, what ever it may be to you.

4) When you make a mistake own it.

5) it's good to make mistakes as long as you never repeat them.

6) Make sure you live your life in a way, that you are never ashamed of the guy looking back at you in the mirror.

7) Never compromise your integrity for anything or anyone. In a bad situation always make sure you walk away with your integrity intact.

8) Never have sex with a woman until at least 4 months into the relationship.

9) We get one life, make it in the service of your people.

10) When you do something stupid write it in a book. When you become a father and your kid makes the same mistakes. Read that book, before talking to him.

11) you are the most unique and special human in this world, just like the other 7 billion of us.

12) Respect everyone and never let anyone disrespect you.

13) Anger is temporary, never make decisions when angry.

14) Never date a woman that would leave her children for you.

15) Never date a woman who will leave her significant other for you.

16) Your father is not your hero, he doesn't know what is best for you, only you know what's best for you, but your father has the best intentions for you.

17) Always be kind, but never let anyone mistake your kindness for weakness.

18) Never listen to those that tell you life is not fair. It made you ready for anything and all it will give and take from you.

19) If you don't agree with my previous 17 points, fuck them it's your life, make your own rules, but live this beautiful life to its fullest. Except for point 8, always remember point 8, it will save you a world of trouble.

Never allow them to define and validate you.

If someone say they will never lie to you they are presently lying to your face.

Never blindly listen to people who think they can simplify life to a set of rules. Listen to their advice and make your own conclusions.

Don’t allow them to limit you and take your potential through labels and tribes.

Love is god.
