Stefan Sagmeister's list of what he has learned

- Helping other people helps me.
- Having guts always works for me.
- Thinking life will be better in the future is stupid, I have to live now.
- Organizing a charity group is surprisingly easy.
- Being not truthful works against me.
- Everything I do always comes back to me.
- Assuming is stifling.
- Drugs feel great in the beginning and become a drag later on.
- Over time I get used to everything and start taking it for granted.
- Money does not make me happy.
- Traveling alone is helpful for a new perspective on life.
- Keeping a diary supports my personal development.
- Trying to look good limits my life.
- Material luxuries are best enjoyed in small doeses.
- Worrying solves nothing.
- Complaining is silly. Either act or forget.
- Actially doing the things I set out to do increases my overall level os fatisfaction.
- Everybody things they are right.
- Low expectations are good strategy.
- Whatever I want to explore professionally, it's best to try it out for myself first.
- Everybody who is honest is interesting.
I don't totally agree with everything here but I like that there are no judgements - nothing like "this is good", "that is bad", "you should do this", and it's written from a personal point of view which sounds mature for me.
