My mother tried to teach me and my brother Wren all these lessons while trying to raise us:
1. Treat others as you would like them to treat you.
2. Set a goal in life. Do not lie, cheat, or steal to reach that goal.
3. Find a mentor or someone to inspire you - a teacher, leader, or neighbor
4. Learn to overcome adversity - (trauma, suspense, or loss).
5. Accept responsibility for all your actions or statements.
6. Do not criticize, condemn, or complain, unless you have a solution to offer that will improve the situation.
7. Be tolerant of other people and their religious or political beliefs.
8. Focus on the job at hand. If you make a mistake, admit it and do it right the next time.
9. Learn patience. Quitters never win! Winners never quit!
10. Have a sense of humor.
11. Stickability. Anything worth doing is worth doing well. Get as much education as possible and stick with any project you start.
12. Always be proud of yourself. Don't do anything you would be ashamed of.
13. Be thankful for what you have.
14. Help others who are less fortunate.
15. Get a job. Earn self-respect. "Earn a dollar, save a dime"
16. Register when you are eligible and vote in every election for the best qualified person, regardless of the party affiliation.
17. Be proud to be an American.
18. Respect authority and your teachers, they are here to help you.
19. Keep a positive mental attitude at all times.
20. Find a Church you are comfortable with - with a good youth program. Join it and support it.
