Life Lessons I Hope To Pass On To My kids-Part III

1. Grandma Mary also says, "If you get in a fight, fight to win."
2. Stay loyal to those who are important and who love and like you for you. Sometimes it's hard to know who those people are from the people who only want something from you.
3. Take the time to spend quality time with those you love. Time passes quickly. Money comes and goes. True friends and family are always there for you.
4. If you ever, EVER, EVER have a problem - TALK ABOUT IT! It's better to talk it out than to let it get under your skin or hold a grudge.
5. Allow yourself to trust others, unless they give you a reason why they don't deserve it.
6. Always be treated with dignity and respect. Let people know that it's NOT okay if they treat you badly.
7. TRUST YOUR GUT! If you don't feel right about something, that's a pretty good indicator that something is wrong.
8. Try your bewst to do well in school (and everything that you do) and get good grades. It's only when you're done school that you'll be kicking youself if you didn't do well - and that way, you won't have to pay to upgrade.
9. NEVER let others tell you that you can't be friends or spend time with someone you care about (some exceptions apply) whether they verbally say "Your dad can't ever come to visit/stay again" or just don't like the person - making you choose not to spend time with them.
10. Don't EVER start smoking. It's a needless expense, hard to quit and bad for your overall health.
