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.

Also, if everyone would get at most 2 children, humanity will shrink on average. Don't see why somebody should not have kids just because somebody else had "too many".

Richer people in general have less kids. Fixing world hunger would go a long way. But somehow with an abundance of food the elites decided that starving Congo is better for that 0.01% extra profit.

From what I've read fixing world hunger would not be that expensive, in the grand scheme of things. Too bad that the poor just don't have a lobby.

I believe world hunger perfectly encapsulates all problems humanity face.

We have the means to solve it already but we simply don't.
