I posted this a few years back and it was in a local newpaper. THIS WAS NOT WRITTEN BY ME, BUT BY SOMEONE ELSE. I know alot of people on this board don't agree/like what I write, but these ARE NOT my statements:
Here it goes:
1.) DON'T underestimate your worth by comparing yourselves with others. It is because we are different that each of us is special.
2.) DON'T take for granted the things closest to your heart. Cling to them as you would your life. Without them, life is meaningless.
3.) DON'T let your life slip through your fingers by living in the past or for the future. BY living your life one day at a time, you will live all the days of your life.
4.) DON'T be afraid to encounter risks. It is by taking chances that we learn to be brave. (E.g. Ever notice when we face our fears, we feel more confident?)
BTW, there are a few I left out, but these 4, IMHO, are the best ones.
5.) *****THIS ONE ADDED BY ME*****
ACCEPT the fact that NOT EVERYBODY is going to like you. I DON'T CARE how nice, intelligent, fair and respectful you are to people, you WILL HAVE people who DISLIKE YOU in life. These can be co-workers, aquaintances or strangers on the street. Some people will not like you because of the way you look. However, the main reason people may dislike you (excluding you are just an ******* and rude to people) is ENVY!! There will always be someone out there who ENVIES you for any reason (e.g. You are tall, have a nice body, have a full head of hair, have a government job, nice car, and so on) THE BIGGEST reason for ENVY is WOMEN!! There is always going to be someone ENVIOUS (e.g. co-worker, stranger, friend) because you were talking to so and so or have this attractive woman as your g/f wife. I witnessed this first hand tonight where this guy at work was jealous that this other guy was talking to his former fling.
THE MAIN POINT of #5 IS and THIS IS THE HARDEST ONE OF ALL: STOP CARING WHAT PEOPLE THINK SO MUCH, YOU CAN NEVER PLEASE EVERYONE!!
