A person asked me:
> You seem like you have a really rich and
> fulfilling life! How did you get to be so cool?

So here was my short answer..

Hmmm…
That is a funny question. Hmmm… interesting.

My answer is an answer for me, not for what other
people should do.

-Don’t get to attached to your own identity.
Don’t think. “I am this way, therefore I must be
this other way.” You are not limited by your
family, economics, sexuality, race, customs,
religion, friends in many of the ways they might
limit you or in ways your own self-identity
could. Don’t be afraid to be someone other than
yourself. In this way your actions can have wider
scope and you can learn more.

-Poke into and explore everything. Talk to people
different than you. Travel in low class ways.
Read many things. Be a generalist in many areas,
and seek to combine the things you learn to
create new things.

-Don’t focus your like on “having fun” all this
time. Much fun ends up being pretty boring and
doesn’t expand your thought and power and deeper
fun.

-Don’t spew your energy into things which weaken
you too much. Don’t coddle yourself. Guide your
emotions so they serve you. No debt. Very little
short-term thinking.

-Learn to view things in many different ways. By
having more ways of seeing,.. you are more
entertained and your view is more likely to
develop to be a.. got to go.

-Create more than you consume. Create things
which last instead of just temporary things.

Hmmmmm…..
I guess there are a million more things.
Those are a few ideas though.
