-You can’t save the world so save yourself and help others when you can
-Take pride in your work.Want to do the best job possible
-You will make mistakes.Don’t dwell on them.Learn from them
-Do not accept or settle for second best.Want the best and strive for it
-You can’t make people change.They have to want to change,then change themselves
-Things are not always as they appear or as they are represented to you.Trust your instincts but keep an open mind.
-People are products of their heredity and environment.Their personality is influenced by past experiences and future goals and objectives
-Welcome honesty in a person but do not expect it
-Don’t confuse your pride with your principles.Don’t let your pride influence decisions that you make in life.
-Accept gestures of friendship but don’t demand or except them
-Never assume you know what someone is thinking or what someone means in words or actions.If you are unsure,ask
-Do not live in the past or anticipate the future.Live in the present but do not live day to day
-Goodness always prevails over evil but it will prevail in its own time not yours and may not suit your personal needs
-Adults do know the difference between right and wrong.Sometimes they choose wrong
-Never judge another person’s actions or decisions.You have no idea what motivated them to take that action or make that decision
-You can change your principles but do not compromise them for another
-Reality is a state of mind,to a degree.The meaning of what you say is determined solely by the way another person interprets it and their notions and perceptions which are sometimes already a standard in their mind before you speak
