Barlow was not only an inspired songwriter, but also a huge human being, whom we lost in 2018…way, WAY too soon. Below, his inspired coming of age list of principles to live by, “Principles Of Adult Behavior”. I double dog dare you to refute even one. <\/p>\n

Principles Of Adult Behavior
\n1. Be patient. No matter what.
\n2. Don\u2019t bad-mouth: Assign responsibility, not blame. Say nothing of another you wouldn\u2019t say to him.
\n3. Never assume the motives of others are, to them, less noble than yours are to you.
\n4. Expand your sense of the possible.
\n5. Don\u2019t trouble yourself with matters you truly cannot change.
\n6. Expect no more of anyone than you can deliver yourself.
\n7. Tolerate ambiguity.
\n8. Laugh at yourself frequently.
\n9. Concern yourself with what is right rather than who is right.
\n10. Never forget that, no matter how certain, you might be wrong.
\n11. Give up blood sports.
\n12. Remember that your life belongs to others as well. Don\u2019t risk it frivolously.
\n13. Never lie to anyone for any reason. (Lies of omission are sometimes exempt.)
\n14. Learn the needs of those around you and respect them.
\n15. Avoid the pursuit of happiness. Seek to define your mission and pursue that.
\n16. Reduce your use of the first personal pronoun.
\n17. Praise at least as often as you disparage.
\n18. Admit your errors freely and soon.
\n19. Become less suspicious of joy.
\n20. Understand humility.
\n21. Remember that love forgives everything.
\n22. Foster dignity.
\n23. Live memorably.
\n24. Love yourself.
\n25. Endure.<\/p>\n
