Stephen Fry: What I wish I knew when I was 18

British actor and writer Stephen Fry offers us lessons based on his experience.

Some of the highlights:

• Keep your ego in check. You’ll be better liked, and more opportunities will come your way.
• Get outside your comfort zone by traveling to distant lands and reading books in a serendipitous way.
• Be a giver, not a taker. It’s more rewarding.
• Learn with friends.
• Have heroes.
• And always think for yourself.

 A very interesting interview, especially if you are 17-18.
