    "When I die, I am pretty sure my last words will not be 'I wish I had paid more attention to politics', or 'I wish I had paid closer attention to celebrity gossip', While paying attention to some things is important, it is more important to know what to pay attention to, and to keep in mind that generally what is being shouted at you in the media is generally a distraction from the things that are actually important."

    "When you worry about what other people think of you, then you stop living objectively, and start living subjectively. At that point you are no longer living your life, but you are letting others decide how you will live. While sometimes appearances matter, it is more important to live how you want to. You will find that you are much happier, and you will live a much more fulfilled life."
