i have simply just been thinking about Doctor’s speech to Clara as he’s starting to forget her versus his speech to his future self as he starts to regenerate, like..

The Doctor: Run like hell. 

Clara: What? 

The Doctor: Run like hell because you always need to. Laugh at everything, because it’s always funny.

Clara: No, stop it. You’re saying goodbye. Don’t say goodbye. 

The Doctor: Never be cruel and never be cowardly. And if you ever are, always make amends. 

Clara: Stop it! Stop, stop it! 

The Doctor: Never eat pears. They’re too squishy. And they always make your chin wet. That one’s quite important. Write it down. 

versus

The Doctor: [...] You wait a moment, Doctor! Let's get it right. I've got a few things to say to you. Basic stuff first: never be cruel, never be cowardly, and never, ever eat pears! Remember, hate is always foolish, and love is always wise. Always try to be nice, but never fail to be kind. [...] Laugh hard. Run fast. Be kind. Doctor… I let you go.

(bolded emphasis my own)

was the Doctor telling Clara how to be the Doctor, now that she has her own tardis and forever between one heartbeat and the last to explore?
