FOB # 10 short statements summarizing what advice you would give another person, the 10 most important lessons you've learned so far." These for me are the first things that came to mind. I'm sure there are others that are more important than these.

9. "Don't ask the question unless you are prepared for the answer."
8. "No one can make you feel inferior without your consent."
7. "For reasons that are completely unknown to you, there will be people who just don't like you."
6. "Try to live the most authentic life you can and don't have regrets about that."
5. "The most influential role model for a child is the same-sex parent. Try not to pass your 'junk' on to them."
4. "A short pencil is usually better than a long memory."
3. "You can do most anything you set your mind to, therfore "I can't" is just a mindset."
2. One of the Beattitudes: "Don't date someone that wouldn't make a good mate because you never know when you may fall in love."
1. Trying to follow The Golden Rule is a real challenge. I like a challenge, and honestly I'm still a work in progress; prone to make mistakes.
