One really important thing I learned about life: the necessity of finding your own way. Learn from others, sure, but your way is *your* way. Don’t pretend to be like everyone else.
Another really important thing, possibly more important than the first: don’t set out to find your own way. Instead, set out to resolve the contradictions of justice and mercy, maturity and integrity, and work in a field suited to your personality that doesn’t pollute your conscience. Imitate people you admire. Read many books. Pray for guidance. Then do what seems right. You’ll find your way.
