Figure out what you - as an individual - value. Not the things that our society, parents, religion, corporate culture, pop culture or even friends believe to be valuable. The things that inspire a deeply intrinsic childlike happiness in you. These are the things that matter - let them guide you. Never compromise them. Even - and especially - when that means walking away from opportunities, careers or lifestyles that are coveted by so many, yet accessible only to a select few. There is no happiness to be found at the end of another man's road. Follow your gut, never your ego. Stay weird... and stay gold, Ponyboy.
