Face your life, its pain, its pleasure, leave no path untaken.
Whatever it takes to finish things, finish. You will learn more from a glorious failure than you ever will from something you never finished.
Stories you read when you're the right age never quite leave you. You may forget who wrote them or what the story was called. Sometimes you'll forget precisely what happened, but if a story touches you it will stay with you, haunting the places in your mind that you rarely ever visit.
Make glorious, amazing mistakes. Make mistakes nobody's ever made before. Whatever you're scared of doing, Do it.
