1. Be considerate of everyone & consider yourself 

Being a nice person is important in this cruel, selfish world. Remember to be nice to yourself too.

2.  Be respectful to every single person you come in contact with & respect yourself 

When you're respectful to someone, they can't say anything negative about your character. Make sure you respect yourself ultimately, if you don't, people won't respect you.

3. Be a good friend & let people be a good friend to you

Be a good friend, you'll never know when you'll need one. But also let people be good to you, don't be stubbornly independent. Depending on others isn't always all that bad.

4. Don't underestimate what people are capable of, don't ever put someone down for their ambitions & don't underestimate yourself or start calling your plans dreams.

You don't want to be blindsided by competition. But you also don't want to lose the race because you never believed you could finish. Believing in yourself goes a long way.

5. Be slow to anger & quick to listen with a sympathetic ear.

You won't be heard when you're yelling and no one will want to understand your side if you don't want to understand theirs. This is extremely important in relationships of any kind. 

6. Don't forget at the end of the day, people will have to live with who they are & so will you.

You may have more fun laughing with your girlfriends over the hideous outfits Jessica puts together everyday but the next day, you have to face who you are. It's better to be known as a good person than to be hated for a weak moment that you didn't show the best version of you. 

"I'd rather be hated for who I am than loved for what I'm not." 

Are you proud of you?
