The Truth
I think that people should tell the truth all the time. I know this probably seems ridiculous, but even the smallest lies, or untold truths can create a lot of unnecessary pain. While sometimes the truth might hurt, wouldn't you rather it be you friends who told you that you didn't look good before someone who wouldn't be as kind about it told you? And also sometimes there are occasions when you don't tell the truth, you aren't lying, you just don't mention something because you feel it is irrelevant and not necessary. Then later someone might find out and think you were purposefully keeping information from them and going behind there back, creating unnecessary hurt. So while the truth can create hurt, falsehoods create more hurt.

I think you're extremely intelligent, and clearly very dedicated, but I hope that you aren't too grown up. I think it entirely possible that you will become one of those go-getters, policy-makers who help shape our society -- and if and when you do, I think you will need some childishness, some sense of playfulness and fun and innocence and faith, that has fallen away from too many of our leaders. I don't know that you don't have that, because I don't know you very well and I only see you in one situation, but I hope that you have it and you keep it. Though you have a look in your eyes sometimes that can get a little intense and therefore kinda scary, which thus makes me worry. I also think you have a great sense of style.
