Jon's Words of Wisdom
There isn't much that I
have come up with in my years but what I have thought about,
I guess I'll share. Don't live your life by it, but it's
always good to have advice to think about. I'll be updating
this as I think of more stuff, but this is initially what I
came up with. So here we go.
Objectivity. I really like to be objective when considering
or thinking about anything. This can be really hard to do,
especially if you cannot see past your own biases.
Objectivity goes a long way; questioning yourself to see if
you're doing the right thing, examining others' viewpoints
without prejudice, and seeing anything or everything through
a lense without bias. This is not as easy as it sounds, or
so I have learned.
Nothing is the end of the world. Think about the last time
you said something like, "This is it...life is over. I'll
never..." or something to that effect where everything
seemed hopeless. Chances are that the event that was
bothering you turned out to be rather insignificant.
Patience.

Stand up for your friends if
someone is talking behind their back. They would really
appreciate it, and know that you're a true friend if the
incidentally found out. Besides, this is what friends
ought to do.
Every once in a while, do something crazy. These
are the types of things that we often look back upon
fondly and are able to remember to tell to our children.
