I have been collecting some random bits of
advice that I keep repeating to myself, do's and don'ts of which I have
been and will always be guilty. Some of you have been exposed to one or
more of these tidbits. Collecting these items and presenting them in one
speech may be one of the less obnoxious among options of equal presumptuousness.
The advice we give others is the advice that we ourselves need. Since it
is too late for me to learn these lessons, I will discharge my unfulfilled
duty by dishing them out to you. They will be stated in order of increasing
controversiality.
