Friedman’s Top Ten Values for a Mighty Fine ’99
- “Value values.” The best things in life are not things.
- Be humble. At the feast of ego, everyone leaves hungry.
- Scare yourself. If you’re not scared, it ain’t big enough.
- Keep your words sweet. You might have to eat them.
- Turn it up. Your day follows the curve of your mouth.
- Make the most of pain. Pain is wisdom in disguise, which teaches us the lessons of life.
- Live a good, honorable life. When you get older and think back, you’ll get to enjoy it a second time.
- Play today. If you’re too busy to play, you’re just too darn busy.
- Enjoy yourself. If you can’t enjoy yourself, enjoy somebody else.
- Court coincidences. Coincidences are small miracles sent anonymously by God.
