MY INCOMPLETE MANIFESTO

1. People watch

Go to a local coffee shop, walk down the street, travel by bus/subway, and just watch people.

2. Save money
No matter how much you make or how little, always save, because you never know when you will need it.

3. Socialize 
Don't forget to surround yourself with people, even if its going to the coffee shop down the street.

4. Take breaks

Stand up, stretch, coffee breaks, eat, etc.

5. Laugh

Watch stupid videos, movies, or talk with a friend who will make you laugh. Anything that will ease stress.

6. Don't take life too seriously

Not literally, have an appropriate amount of fun with what your doing what ever it may be. 

7. Be optimistic

Don't ever close your mind to anything, let ideas flow, make mistakes and continue to learn.

8. Explore

Travel,Visit places on the world you've never been. Expand your mind. Don't let your ideas end. There is always room for expansion.

9. Surround your life with sounds

Make it apparent that there are other people in the world. Filling your life with music, television, radio, street traffic, etc will make you feel less isolated. 

10. Never lose touch with family

No matter how many times a year you see them, spend that time with them wisely. They can inspire, love and be there for you.

14. Don't sweat the small stuff

Seriously, don't.

15. Take criticism

You may not completely agree with some ones advice, but take it, good or bad. 

16. When you have spare time, use it

This time should be spent wisely, take advantage while you can.
