Seriously I was hoping for something unique, but there's nothing new here if you have ever read a life advice column before or practiced any faith for a while. If anything, I only reached the same conclusion as in the end of this article:

Perhaps that just proves that the best life advice doesn't really change much? While reading Sam's list I didn't find much that I haven't heard before.
What is new and valuable to me is the combination of advice. While each individual piece of advice might not be new or unique it is still interesting to see what Sam chose to include.
If nothing else it serves as a reminder from a person you may want to learn from. That can be valuable as well particularly because people seem to make the mistake of forgetting important things in life "by default"[1]
