Never believe anyone who tells you that your world is bounded by political or religious boundaries.

Do not be so proud that you cannot offer a smile to a stranger.

Seek to go places that challenge you.

Be comfortable not knowing everything that is said, and not understanding everything you hear.

Do not refuse food offered to you in kindness.

Do not compare the food you are accustomed to eating to what is offered you wherever you go.

Do not pretend to believe that only your food is worth eating, only your songs worth singing, only your country worth visiting, only your stories worth hearing, only your customs worth cultivating, or only your life worth living.

Always try everything, TWICE.

Always be grateful for the opportunity to find things you do not like, for you will never again have to experience them.

Never agree to what you know well you cannot do.

Always be kind to those that serve you, for one day you may be serving them.

Be aware of those around you, but do not let them affect your peace.

Remember that nobody exists just for you, but listen to them as though no one else existed.

Never cease to be amazed by the wondrous things you encounter, for they may never be seen again.
