Some life lessons

Some life lessons I have learned over time:

• The world doesn’t revolve around you.
• Life is not a courtroom.
• Don’t leave something because you hate it.
• Happiness of people around you is essential to your own happiness.
• Taking the easy route is not shameful.
• Be honest to yourself.
• Accept yourself; accept your family and friends; accept your duties; accept your life.
• Avoid fear.
• Self-pity is a plague that will eat you alive.
• Don’t stop living, even temporarily.
