1. Never be afraid to ask out the best-looking girl in the room. You'll be surprised how often it works.
2. In Monopoly, buy the orange properties.
3. You are what you do, not what you say.
4. Don't be afraid of pickup games. It's the best way to learn.
5. Keep a copy of your letters. It makes it easier on your biographer.
6. Watch lightning storms from a safe spot. But watch 'em.
7. Offer your seat to a woman, no matter how old she is.
8. Never side against your brother in a fight.
9. Never criticize a book, play, or film unless you have read or seen it yourself. Art is full of suprises.
10. Push-ups and sit-ups are all you'll ever need to build muscle.
11. Spend time with your mother. She's cooler than you think.
12. Don't be shy in the locker room. They are all thinking the same thing.
13. Be a good listener. Don't just wait your turn to talk.
14. When in doubt, wear a tie.
15. If you don't know what a word means, ask. Before it's too late.
16. Know your neighborhood like the back of your hand. Sometimes the best adventures are in your own backyard.
17. Start a band.
