36. Try a hairstyle that you'll one day regret. I'll get over it.
37. There is always something that could use a fresh coat of paint.
38. Until you are a doctor, never answer your phone at the table. That goes for emails, texts, twitters, and tweets.
39. Have a favorite song. It doesn't have to be hip. (The best ones never are.)
40. If you make a mistake, forgive yourself and move on.
41. Dance with your partner, not at her. But don't forget to lead.
42. Help a buddy move.
43. Don't panic.
44. If you ignore history, it will ignore you.
45. There is rarely a need to raise your voice. At the ballgame is one exception.
46. Never hog a microphone.
47. Send postcards.
48. Keep your word.
49. Respect fire.
50. Don't litter. Ever.
