Advice to Students

Build good habits, live according to the laws that govern abundance and find a vigor and joy in life as you learn to stand at the helm of the ship, charting its course into the safety of the harbor, instead of just waiting for someone else to bring it in.
Extend to each person, no matter how trivial the contact, all the care and kindness and understanding and love that you can muster, and do it with no thought of any reward. Your life will never be the same again.
Cherish each hour of this day for it can NEVER return.  Act Now.
