    A list:

    Desired occupation, sexual orientation, views on reproduction, views on economic structure and politics, religion is behavior structure to find an ego identity with, the universe only transforms itself, a being that lived to a trillion years old would put peace above all else, value your ability to see novelty, do what you can for others, things are done for money, money is earned to do things, no free-will just intention, no purpose just ends, no meaning, just words and what they represent, don't agree with some one before you think of what they are getting out of it, when you are limited to two choices look for a third, mice don't move if you give them the cheese before they start the maze, kill two birds with one stone, love every one because they are human, but don't love everything humans do, in every moment there is eternity.

    1: Exactly how bad soda was for your health.

    2: The importance of finishing - in any setting (school, work, assignments, completing whatever).

    3: The full importance of keeping fit.

    1. Acting out of love and kindness very nearly ALWAYS yields better results (for everyone, especially me), than when I've acted out of hurt and anger. If you're in a state that you're able to make a choice, make it love and kindness. ...Even when you're REALLY, REALLY angry.

    2. If you think the world is clearly "black and white" you're mistaken. There's always more to the story. Balance "trusting your gut" with seeking the truth.

    3. Actively and purposefully become "yourself". Who you are, overall, despite everything that happened and happens to you, is truly and ultimately up to you. It really is.
