A great piece of career advice I was given early on...”Never burn a bridge unless you need the light.”
And “People who continually burn bridges eventually end up on an island.”
When you ask someone how they're doing and they say, "I can't complain," I like to say, "Sure you can, you're just not trying hard enough."
Everything in moderation including moderation
If you can, help others; if you cannot do that, at least do not harm them.

One that I've often thought about is:
Being normal is boring.
I just looked it up and I guess it's a quote attributed to Marilyn Monroe. I did not know that.
I always thought about that as a kid because I was a nerd and I didn't fit in most of the time. But when you think about it, everyone is different, so "normal" is just everyone trying to be the same, which is boring.

Life is too short to worry about lies and coverups, so own your mistakes and be honest.
Although that has lead to my previous statement. You would be surprised how many people think you are an ahole when you are honest and not lie to them.

Also, you learn more from failures than successes, so dont be scared to lose/fail.
I do disagree with Abe Lincoln a bit though, I believe it’s better to ask the dumb question and then learn the answer (and have people think your kinda a moron) then to keep your mouth shut and actually be dumb.

I tell me kid this: "I regret plenty of things I've done but my biggest regrets revolve around things I didn't do."
I also wear a bracelet with "Memento Mori" on it which translates to "Remember you will die." Just a reminder to try and make the most of each day.
