Treat storytelling as a responsibility, because stories shape how people see the world.

Preserve your independence of mind; follow your own vision even when it goes against trends.

Let personal setbacks and criticism fuel growth rather than discourage you.

Stay humble before the craft and keep improving, no matter how successful you become.

Value peace, coexistence, and the hope that people can understand one another.

Accept that humans are contradictory and flawed, and tell stories that reflect that complexity.
