Become a fixer, not just a fixture.

Become addicted to constant and never-ending self-improvement.

When you're young, try to be realistic; as you get older, become idealistic. You'll live longer.

Become a student of change. It is the only thing that will remain constant.

Don't reinvent the wheel, just realign it.

When solving problems, dig at the roots instead of just hacking at the leaves.
