1. Think Positively –not dwelling on the negative in life, thinking more positive in each situation, will have a positive outcome, thinking positive allowed me to be more successful in life, with my grades with my family and friends its good thing to remember throughout life, I learned this from when I was negative to everything, and my teacher told me to be positive and you’ll have more friends, I’ve been following this rule ever since.
2. Value your family –I take the time to love and appreciate them, for me never know when they may be gone, it’s true because if you value your family there is a chance that they will help you in the near future, My grandma always tells me that I should value my family more than my friends because in the future my friends will slowly disappear to their own ways and careers but my family will always be there for me.
3. Have at least ten minutes a day to yourself - it’s important for me to concentrate on my life for a period of time, so that you can think over your life, the time that have for myself is mostly in bed when I go to sleep, thinking over life, My dad always stares off into space when I want to talk to him, and he says that I needed a minute to myself to think about my things you should do that often , just have a minute to myself he said, and ever since then I’ve been doing it, and It calms me a whole lot.
4. Don’t have a lot of debts for people- Having a lot of debt, causes you to have a lot of pressure by the people, and you lose trust, Like now I’m owing someone a dollar and he warns me that he will raise to 2 dollars, so it’s not worth it, I got this from my grandpa because he always talks about how he has some debts from his friends and stuff so he keeps telling me that I should layoff the debts from people.
5. Surround yourself with positive people – it’s good because it boosts your self esteem and makes your life worth living, Right now I’m surrounded around positive people and I’m happy and positive about my life, My mom always was positive around her friends and they always had a positive impact on her so I kind of learned from her to only hang out with the people that have a positive look on life.
6. Take anything, when someone offers – when you take something from someone, and you say thank you it shows respect to the person which is a good thing, this is very important in my life because in my opinion when someone gives you something then you give him friendship when you take it when you don’t he may gotten hurt by that action, My grandparents always say this Take stuff from people even though you don’t like it, shows people respect and willing to have friendship, which is also good because friendship allows you to adapt better in life.
7. Be kind to people- Being kind to people allows you to make connections and friends, and by having friends they can help you out, that’s true because if your kind to people then they will become your friend and help you out at tough times so that’s good, My dad repeats it over and over to me so I Got this jammed in my head, I’m always kind to people and will be this means respect and a lot of help from people in life. And support from peer pressure also.
8. Be understanding – Understanding others peoples faults, forgive them when they make mistakes and this will give you a lot of fortune, Being understanding and forgiving has also a way to making friendship and connections so that’s a really good thing, My grandma always forgives people when they do something very bad, she always repeats that life is full of people who live by mistakes , and forgiving them gives you more friends and they give you respect which is important, so I just learned from that.
9. When you make a mistake learn from it – By this you learn that you won’t make that same mistake again which is a very good strategy, I do this all the time, when I make a mistake I always learn from it and never do it again, and I mostly remember when I do it at what times, I kind of learned this from myself because when I mess up I just promise myself that I won’t do it again, so I just got it stuck in my head.
10. Live life to the fullest – it can be short, it can be long who knows? This is a opportunity for you to live a good life, In my life I attempted to have a lot of fun but school is holding the these things back, I could get hurt and I didn’t live my life to the fullest fun and entertainment of life, that’s why kids disagree with school, I learned this by myself, because there are a lot of possibilities that you can get hurt and you can’t live your life regularly any more, some people who have bad diseases , and are dying, so there life is practically over, so that’s a rule to remember long life.
