9 life lessons from Tim Minchin:

paraphrasing...
1. You don't have to have a dream: instead have passionate short-term goals. Be micro-ambitious
2. Don't seek happiness. Keep busy and aim to make someone else happy
3. It is all luck
4. Exercise
5. Be hard on your opinions: Opinions should be constantly and thoroughly examined. We must think critically and not just about the ideas of others
6. Be a teacher
7. Define yourself in what you love: be demonstrative and appreciative in your praise
8. Respect people with less power than you
9. Don't rush
