They are too many to count, but here are a few.
1) Every human being is as important as the entire universe.
2) Our actions, thoughts and speech create ripples that spread throughout eternity.
3) Everything is a test.
4) The only temporal thing that you really own is time; and not much of that either. Every moment is golden.
5) Our soul (yes, humans possess a soul) - yearns for God; and this emotion won't be assuaged with food, money or pleasures.
6) The truth is much more interesting than fiction. The Torah will not only reveal its own secrets to those who study it; it will also reveal the secrets of history, and the inner workings of men's minds.

2) Humans are the pinnacle of Creation. That is why they were created last (Genesis ch.1).3) Humans are made in the Divine image (Gen. ch.1).
4) We possess a God-given soul (this is one of the meanings of Gen. 1:27 and 2:7).
5) We were given free-will and are responsible to God (otherwise, the warning in Gen.2:17 would be unnecessary).
