This is what I would tell those I love:
Be excellent in your treatment of others. Regardless of any other achievement, honor, or award, be true in this.
There will be those who will seek to take advantage of your generosity, or may perceive you as weak as a consequence, but pay them no mind. The advantage lost from conceding to a petty difference is more than taken up by the good you will generate.
Do not be afraid. Fear brings out the worst in all of us.
