I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes...

Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing the world.  You're doing things you've never done before, and more importantly, you're DOING SOMETHING!
So that's my wish for you, and all of us, and my wish for myself.  Make NEW MISTAKES.  Make glorious, amazing mistakes.  Makes mistakes nobody's ever made before.  Don't freeze, don't stop, don't worry that it isn't good enough, or that it isn't perfect, whatever it is... love, work, family or life.  Whatever it is you're scared of doing, do it.  Make your mistakes, next year and forever. - N.G.


HAPPY NEW YEARS!!!

Love,
Locket

A few of my favourites from "The Unofficial Goldman Sachs Guide To Being A Man"

1. When the bartender asks, you should already know what you want to drink
2. When in doubt, kiss the girl
3. No selfies!!!  Aspire to experience photo-worthy moments in the company of a beautiful woman
4. There's always another level.  Just be content knowing that you are still better off than most who have ever lived
5. Pretty women who are unaccompanied want you to talk to them
6. The cliché is that having money is about not wasting time.  But in reality, money is about facilitating spontaneity
7. Be spontaneous
8. Find a Times New Roman in the streets and a Wingdings in the sheets.  She exists.
9. Desserts are for women.  Order on and pretend you don't mind that she's eating yours
10. Buys a tuxedo before you are thirty, stay that size
11. One girlfriend at a time is probably enough
12. You may only request one song from the DJ
13. Measure yourself only against your previous self
14. Your clothes do not match, they go together
15. Yes, of course you have to buy her dinner
16. Staying angry is a waste of energy
17. Always bring a bottle of something to the party
18. You cannot have a love affair with whiskey because whiskey will never love you back
19. Eating out alone can be magnificent, find a place where you can sit at the bar
20. Read more.  It allows you to borrow someone else's brain and will make you more interesting at a dinner party - provided that you don't initiate the conversation with "So who are you reading..."
21. Ignore the boos.  They usually come from the cheap seats
22. Don't ever say, "It is what it is."
23. You can get away with a lot more if you're the one buying the drinks
24. No one care if you are offended, so stop it
25. Remember, "rules are for the obedience of fools and the guidance of wise men."
