Something like;
I was lucky to read Three sisters by Chekov at the best time to teach me never to compare myself to others, it's just a soul-crushing experience where you always lose. I think this is the best advice for young people that anyone can give them.
The Kite Runner prepares me in case I may have to be a coward; I'm trying not to be one tho. But even if I can't avoid it, I tell myself: don't let your cowardice affect other people, and if it does, redeem yourself somehow. It's the same thing with selfishness, I guess.
The recent, and I wished I'd learned that before but will use it in the future is from Before We Were Immigrants; So Long Yugoslavia; if there is an obstacle on your way, just cross the road (if you can) and take the path without any obstacles. So simple and so cool. Don't complicate it if you don't have to. There is one more from that book; don't marry someone just because you can live with her/him. It's just not enough.
