Dylan: To say, ‘we are alive’, and to fully feel it. To give everything of yourself when listening to a friend. To be ethical. That two people can get extremely far when they understand that God is between them. To fight becoming a passive (boring, old) person. To be actualized: 1) that doing things means doing them now, not thinking about them. 2) it is possible to change a big part of your behavior from one moment to the other, and you should do it whenever you change your mind.
Raffi: to not conform. To identify the best place and the best people and to work with them, regardless of who I think I am. ‘Are you happy?’ An example of a man with purely good intentions. Because of this, he can motivate and unite large groups of people, caring about each one individually so much that it sometimes becomes a full time job even against his will to do otherwise. To disregard what people expect of you and the unnecessary pride. To treat myself well. To know that you may not win now, but be sure that you will win eventually!
Jes: to ask what you think are the important questions, often and strongly. Modern philosophy. To be spiritual as a scientist. That you can be part of religion without feeling that you are ‘like’ the other people you interact with in the religious group. That nothing is standard, no dinner deserved to be called just a dinner with friends. To do philosophy and science like the great scholars used to do.
Rory: to enjoy doing science. That math is not that much about precision. To be weird and unique, even if very few people notice.
Harshu: to work hard. To give your life to science.
