2. Practice peace – thank you Varick F. Cutler;
3. Define my primary aim – thank you Michael Gerber;
4. Envision my perfect job and then go for it – thank you Richard Nelson Bolles;
5. Don’t lose money, Rule #1 for investors – thank you Phil Town;
6. Focus on the positive – thank you Mom;
7. Downsize my life and that less is truly more – thank you Michael Gellert;
8. Work for great people at great companies (if you must work for someone else) – thank you Warren Buffett;
9. Aspire to educate all because the lack of education is the root of most evil;
10. Say I love you – Gillian, I love you very much!
