Mine:

Learn a second language and keep up with the language your parents speak. You will regret being a brat about not wanting to speak this language especially as your family members pass.
The only opinions about you that really matter are from the people you respect and who respect you back
Being a kind humble person, who leads their political convictions with curiosity and not self righteousness is important. As that one person said: "I am no hero and neither are you."
Don't throw out your old media (mix cds, tapes, records, photos, zinee, etc) because you think they're embarrassing. They either will not be embarrassing later or they will become expensive and you can tell them for mad bucks.

Don't let your curiosity fade

Maintain open minded compassion for those different from you

Never be fully convinced you understand the best way to do anything

In disputes between the affected and the unaffected give added weight to the most affected

Learn to recognize a moral panic, and even if you have concerns related to it don't join in. It's the group dynamic equivalent of spiraling and catastrophizing.

Don't drink your calories unless you want to gain weight
