    Woman in a pink blazer organizing books and papers on a wooden desk, focused on unique life experiences. For those in the US, I think everyone should serve on a jury at least once I know that a lot of people try to get out of it, but it's important to see how the justice system actually operates even for cases that don't seem all that impactful- Going to trial does impact people. And people need to see that most cases are not like an episode of Perry Mason. And they need to see how a disparate group has to work together to reach a consensus, if it comes down to that. (I served on 3 so far, once as an alternate, so I wasn't included in deliberations, and 2 struck deals before it got that far. But I learned a lot.

    Person wearing a grey sweater writing with a blue pen on paper, capturing moments worth experiencing at least once in life. Learn another language. One of the most profound experiences I've ever had is reading an idea/thought that just doesn’t exist in English. It'll help when you do all this traveling people are recommending. French or Spanish, depending on where you live. Or both. I really want to learn Arabic, too, but there are sooooo many dialects...

    Everyone experiences failure. Not everyone can accept failure to the point of being delusional about their fail. I would change it to "Everyone must accept their failures"
