Balance and knowledge. Use your brain, hone it, take care of it. We all have our life cirtcumstances, not everyone starts their journey equal but dont be stupid. Stupidity and ignorance is a choice NOT circumstances. Always choose knowledge in whatever form you see fit. There aint ever too late for educating yourself either in school facilities/at home yourself or learning something new. And most importantly dont overdo your views in any ways. Dont be fanatic.

One last thing. Dont be afraid to make mistakes. Or blatantly deny them. Dont worry about that. Worry about realizing them and not living in delusions. If possible even fixing them.
