Eat, sleep and dress well.
Keep fit and read plenty.
Be cool.
Do it for the story.
Remember that commitment is a good thing.
Always say yes when someone asks you to dinner.
Take risks and play the odds.
Challenge yourself to stay open minded.
Take the date.
Always say please and thank you.
Practice patience with yourself, deal patiently your shortcomings.
Be a great coach to yourself.
Keep a sense of humor.
When things go well, bend a knee and thank God.
When they don’t, do the same (and ask God for help).
Thank your parents.
Be good to your family.
They’ll be the ones still hanging around when the dust settles.
Remember that you’re a speck of dust.
Be cool.
