How to Succeed in College and Life
Make up your mind to be happy. Learn to find pleasure in the simple things.
Make the best of your circumstances. No one has everything and everyone has something of sorrow intermingled with the gladness of life. The trick is to make the laughter outweigh the tears.
Don't take yourself too seriously. Don't think that somehow you should be protected from misfortunes that befall others.
You can't please everybody. Don't let criticism worry you.
Don't let your neighbors set your standards. Be yourself.
Do the things that you enjoy doing, but stay out of debt.
Don't borrow trouble. Imaginary burdens are harder to bear than the actual ones.
Since hate poisons the soul do not cherish enmities or grudges. Avoid people who make you unhappy.
Have many interests. If you can't travel, read about new places.
Don't hold onto postmortems. Don't spend your life brooding over sorrows and mistakes. Don't be the one to never get over things.
Do what you can for those less fortunate than yourself.
Keep busy at something. A busy person never has time to be unhappy.
Robert Louis Stevenson 1850-94
