No matter the order, they're ALL good advice...I especially like the one about getting fired...it took me until yesterday, almost 3 years after the fact, to understand how getting axed was the best thing that could have happened to me...being my own boss, I don't pay me very well, but getting out of the printing business is its own reward...it may not add years to my life, but it's certainly added some life to my years...
