Few from my own journey line :) 1. Your code is temporary, but your attitude towards programming is not. 2.

Learn to appreciate the creativity of youngsters and nurture them. 5. Brilliant programmers drive a product & culture, not a specific program. As someone mentioned earlier, these tips just don't apply for programmers - but any profession.
