When you're young and lack perspective, one way you can evaluate the interests you take, the positions you adopt, the views you have, the things you do, etc. is to look at the company you are keeping. Don't ignore or rationalize bad vibes. Remember nothing has to happen right away; don't be rushed into anything. Don't pursue social standing simply for the sake of doing so; if you're doing things right, it will come to you eventually; same goes for girls.

Take care of your teeth, read books, live below your means, keep your mouth shut, never forget or ignore your mother's birthday and make yourself useful.
