Remember, at the end all you'll have left are memories.
Don't be afraid to take risks.
Don't live your life trying to impress others.
Don't think that you have a lot of time and waste it all waiting for something to change.
Do stuff that you'll happily remember later.

4. On your relationships.

For all the talk or people forming echo chambers on Twitter, consider this:
Most of us don’t regularly interact with people who have different ideas and values
We find those who act and think like us to spend most of our time around
Twitter lets us get different perspectives
