If you look for bad stuff in the news, you'll find it.

You will have to rub elbows with people who rub you the wrong way. Sometimes, you may have to deal with them for months or years due to social circles, work requirements, physical proximity, etc. Getting over the fact that these people suck would be extremely helpful in dealing with them. Concentrate on whatever slim commonality you have between you instead of on how stupid/annoying/rude they are.

If you look for bad stuff anywhere, you'll find it. Conversely, if you look for good stuff, that's usually there too.

Family advice - from my paternal grandfather: don't do anything I wouldn't do on a bicycle. From my mother: it's not going to look any better coming out than it did going in. From me: Actions have consequences. Try to think beyond yourself and your immediate desires.

From my great aunt: Only boring people get bored.

Some advice given to me that I actually followed and was happy I did:

"So you're good at math, what else can you do?" from my college advisor

"You have to put yourself first, because no one else will" Old friend, now deceased who I still miss from time to time.
