Random pieces of advice that helped me

- Treat your bandwidth budget like your monetary budget to avoid burnout. Except that you obviously can't save bandwidth for a rainy day.

- If you discover an "edge", don't just use it to get ahead. Share it.

- The generic advice is to surround yourself with positive people, but the better advice is to be the positive person that the generic advice is referring to.

- Life is unfair. Prepare for it, roll with it, complain only a small amount, and do something about it if you can.

Amanda, I am volunteering for and financially-supporting Lauren Jewett, who is unopposed for the Democratic nomination to oppose in the fall the awful, worthless Steve Scalise, my Congressman and Majority Leader of the House. He has been in office for 20 years, has accomplished nothing and was--despite my numerous emails and appearances at his office--unable or unwilling to move the Speaker to swear in Congresswoman Adelita Grijalva for 70 days. Given lack--of-strength or lack-of-integrity like that, little more needs to be said of him.
