  • One can become virtuous by living an ethical life made up of justice, honesty, discipline, and courage. Virtue is happiness achieved through knowledge, and it is its own reward.

  • Speak and act when necessary, with purpose. Don’t overthink your thoughts, treat others with kindness and compassion, and don’t engage in malicious actions.

  • Have a balanced life; success, money, and love are essential, but they by themselves might not be enough. So, please don’t be greedy but also don’t ditch them.
