Things I Have Learned In My Life So Far by Stefan Sagmeister
1. Helping other people helps me.
2. Having guts always works out for me.

4. Organising a charity group is surprisingly easy.
5. Being not truthful always works against me.
6. Everything I do always comes back to me.

8. Drugs feel great in the beginning and become a drag later on.
9. Over time I get used to everything and start taking for granted.
10. Money does not make me happy.
11. My dreams have no meaning.
12. Keeping a diary supports personal development.
13. Trying to look good limits my life.
14. Material luxuries are best enjoyed in small doses.
15. Worrying solves nothing.
16. Complaining is silly. Either act or forget.
17. Everybody thinks they are right.
18. If I want to explore a new direction professionally, it is helpful to try it out for myself first.
19. Low expectations are a good strategy.

This is an incredible list. Thank you for sharing/posting it. My favorite line: "Helping other people helps me."
Words to live by. xo -L.
I'd like to add a +1 to the "Helping other people helps me" too.
I figured out a few years ago that connecting up people with similar or complementary really has the chance of helping everyone involved. It really takes a different mindset though... you have to not expect anything as a result, just see what happens.
