Find something you are passionate about and make that your career. You should be excited about getting up in the morning and going to work. If you wake up thinking "ugh, I have to go to work" then you need to find another career.

Keep your word no matter how hard or costly it may be.

Listen to people’s words, but when their words do not match their actions, judge them based on their acts.

Make results, not excuses.

Buy more experiences and fewer things.

I told my kids this and they turned out well:

Your success and life is the total of your decisions. All you have to do is make one good decision at a time and then string them all together. It’s not that hard and it breaks it down and makes things seem easier to accomplish. String together hourly good decisions into days and those days of good decisions into weeks and those weeks of good decisions into months and those months of good decisions into years and you will have a successful life.

From my father:
The harder I work, the luckier I get.
About finding the right spouse: You can fight with the rich ones just like the poor ones!
