12 maxims from John that will never go out of style.
As you go on to the rest of your life, sans AD, try to be brave.
Remember that I love you, and go before you always. Remember that
I leave you these twelve tidbits of advice to guide you in your daily
life. And remember to mail cheques to:

If you do that, you should be fine.
12 - Try not to be too disappointed when it's revealed others also
have the power to prevent forest fires.
11 - Never show your best effort. You always need to be able to surprise people.
10 - Any politician who says they want to gain power just to give it away
(by "cutting government") is either a fool, beholden to special interests,
or extraordinarily honest. I wouldn't trust any of these people to represent
me.
9 - When in doubt, give someone a hug. But make sure it's not one of those creepy
kind of hugs.
8 - Just because no one will ever know, it still doesn't make it right to have sex
with Whoopi Goldberg.
7 - Go for the million dollars, you only live once. But try to save a lifeline, just
in case.
6 - Always open with a pawn move, preferably of the b5-d5 variety.
5 - People who live in glass houses should consider getting better insulation.
4 - Your friends will not stop liking you just because you admit to liking
Duran Duran. All things considered, however, this is probably a good secret to keep.
3 - Know thyself.
2 - Don't drink and drive. You might hit a bump and spill some.
1 - No matter what a certain Mr. Windeyer might tell you, 16th century Chinese trade
policy is a much more interesting and important topic of discussion than light rail
transit. Trust me on this one...
