Mugiwarah: My advice is "Hakuna Matata"
Like a different yet similarly ancient saying goes: "He who seeks reasons to concern himself will soon find an ocean".
TheDudeLebowski: It could be argued that the advice itself is paradoxical.
Not by someone who has seen people worn by their clothes and the minds of men consumed by dreams of expensive cars and houses. It is funny, in a way, how truth finds ways to transcend time and culture, so I'll let Omar Khayyam take this one:
I desire a little ruby wine and a book of verses,
Just enough to keep me alive, and half a loaf is needful;
And then, that I and thou should sit in a desolate place
Is better than the kingdom of a sultan.
bluethief: My advice is: always be humble. Even when things go your way, stay humble. Don't let the success get into your head. Treat people with respect and if they helped get to where you are now, always be thankful and share your success with them.
We should all have someone whispering "memento mori" in our ears.
