Kareem: 20 Things I Wish I’d Known When I Was 30

12. When choosing someone to date, compassion is better than passion.  I’m not saying she shouldn’t be passionate. That’s a given. But look for signs  that she shows genuine compassion toward others. That will keep you interested  in her a lot longer.

13. Do one thing every day that helps someone else. This isn’t about  charity, this is about helping one individual you know by name. Maybe it means  calling your parents, helping a buddy move, or lending a favorite jazz album to  Chocolate Fingers McGee.

15. Do one thing every day that you look forward to doing. It’s easy  to get caught up in the enormous responsibilities of daily life. The To Do List  can swallow your day. So, I’d insist to my younger self to make sure he has one  thing on that list that he looks forward to doing.
