Pretending to be friends with your enemies allows you to watch them carefully and figure out what they're planning. People who bravely go after what they want are more successful than people who try to live safely. People like to spend time with others who are similar to them. Ideas and words are more effective than trying to force people to do what you want. Bad things might happen, so be prepared. To fit in in a strange new place, act the way that the people around you are acting. Don't criticize other people if you're not perfect yourself. You can't live completely independently. Everyone needs help from other people. Strong people don't give up when they come across challenges -- they just work harder. It's best to do something on time -- but if you can't do it on time, do it late.
