And these few precepts in thy memory
Look thou character. Give thy thoughts no tongue,
Nor any unproportioned thought his act.
Be thou familiar but by no means vulgar;
Those friends thou hast, and their adoption tried,
Grapple them unto thy soul with hoops of steel,
But do not dull thy palm with entertainment
Of each new-hatched, unfledged comrade. Beware
Of entrance to a quarrel, but being in,
Bear ’t that th’ opposèd may beware of thee.
Give every man thy ear but few thy voice.
Take each man’s censure but reserve thy judgment.
Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy,
But not expressed in fancy—rich, not gaudy,
For the apparel oft proclaims the man…(Eton College, English 13 plus exam)

6) Try to remember a few principles. Do not say what you are thinking, nor act on any rash thought. Be friendly but not overly friendly. Once you have friends and have tested their loyalty hold tightly onto them, but do not shake hands with every new acquaintance that comes along. Avoid getting into fights, but once you are in one show them what you are made of. Listen to everyone, but do not talk to everyone. Listen to everybody’s opinion, but hold back your judgement. Spend as much as you can afford to on clothes, but make sure they are good quality, not flashy, for clothes often reveal what kind of man somebody is.
