Lessons I’ve learned from Discworld (an incomplete list):

• The price of being the best is always having to be the best.
• You aren’t always thanked for doing right. Do it anyway.
• Passive doesn’t always mean weak. There are lots of ways to be strong.
• If you dig the best ditches, they’ll give you a bigger shovel.
• Evil starts with thinking of people as things.
• Don’t get so caught up you forget to have fun.
• Take care of people and they’ll take care of you.
• Take the time to get to know people.
• Take breaks.
• If you act like you belong, people will believe you.
• It matters a lot less what you believe and a lot more what you do with that belief.
• Everyone matters, but some people matter in much bigger ways.
• There’s lots of different ways to be intelligent.
• Love isn’t easy, but it’s worth it.
• You can’t run people’s lives for them.
• Just because someone’s way isn’t your way, doesn’t make it wrong.
• Sometimes you have to play by the rules or it doesn’t count.

• Also, being Good (with a capital G) and Right (with a capital R) doesn’t necessarily make one Nice (with a capital N).

• “You Need To Believe In Things That Aren’t True. How Else Can They Become?”

• Confidence (even when put on) can open a lot of doors. :“No-One With Their Sleeves Rolled Up Who Walks Purposefully With A
Piece Of Paper Held Conspicuously In Their Arm Is Ever Challenged.”

• What’s important is subjective.: “Personal’s Not The Same As Important. People Just Think It Is.”

• People are fickle creatures.: “Always Remember That The Crowd That Applauds Your Coronation Is The
Same Crowd That Will Applaud Your Beheading – People Like A Show.”
