    4. Handwrite and mail thank you notes - it's a lost art that makes you look mature and tells people you still know how to use a post office.

    6. Perfect a hobby, other than drinking.

    7. Never stop learning. Study a language, take a class at a community center, expand your mind.

    8. Ask for what you want - from your job, your partner, yourself.

    9. Remember not to take yourself too seriously.
