Amaum, you cannot go through life skipping the awful parts without losing what makes it worthwhile.  The bad that happens makes us appreciate the good, the amazing and the love we feel precious.  When you have a risk to lose what you value, your value in it increases.

Do not be quick to anger.  Even an elder dragon can fall to folly.  Let patience and tolerance become a virtue in the longlife.  You never know when you will be in need of such grace from those that surround you.

Do not give yourself completely to your leisure. Yes, a soaring flight, a long hot soak, a nap for a month or two, these are all wonderous things. But if these things are all you do, you will soon find your hoard greatly diminished.

We are immortal in the eyes of man, but this is untrue.  We can be felled by arrow and sword as any other creature.  Sadder still is the one who ages due to deserting their ideals.  To lose enthusiasm is to wrinkle the very soul.
