To my future child,
Over the years I have collected a lot of advices and kept the ones that are quite useful. Here are some simple rules so you can navigate the boring stuff of life and enjoy the less boring parts of it.
I hope that they will help you and that you may add some more to them, pass them along so people you care about will enjoy life with you, because a life in solitary and with no one to share what you know with, is a life not well lived.
When you try to predict the future, consider that the present is here. The probability of it existing is very high, you can feel it and see it. The closer the present is to now, the higher the probability is that you can predict it.
When you know what the job is about, hire somebody that is conscientious and conservative.
Trusting in your own capabilities is to command yourself and know that you will execute and accomplish it.
There is the mandatory insurance which you need for your car. There is no way around it. There is also insurances which you should buy for catastrophic events. Events that may happen and you will not be able to recover. Get insurance for those types of events.
Don't touch your face and wash your hands often. Also keep your phone clean.
Watch out for the minority rule. Once you have 10% or more woman at a party you cannot only serve beer. Most men although will drink wine. So you only need one set of glasses if you will serve only wine.
If you need something of value (e.g. a TV,a new phone or a expensive piece of clothing) wait for a couple of days or weeks (if it more expensive). This will force you to consider if you needed the item in the first place.
Find your mission and stick to it. That might be creating a family or any other cause. Pick one and make it your main focus. There are also other things that you will encounter around your mission, evaluate them but don't go down the rabbit hole.
Usually a swan is white, but once in a while a black swan comes along . This holds true for the animal but also for our society. A black swan event is a major event that changes society and the way we think about the world.
Be with a partner that is emotional stable and mature. He/she should have figured out his/her emotional problems and be mentally healthy.
