4. live by this quote (this should be interesting)

5. don't be afraid to stand out (connects with #2)

Just finished Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray and I highly recommend it. Wilde writes with wit and humor and is a pleasure to read. The novel is full of memorable quotes...

"It is only shallow people who do not judge by appearances." - Wilde's amazing creation, Lord Henry
