The wonderful @GwenStyles puts it so well, that I have to repeat this. Because, it doesn’t just apply to sixteen year olds. It applies to all of us.
- Always have a backup plan.
- Half full is always better than half empty.
- Do good things for people even when there’s no benefit to you. What goes around comes around.
- Recognize when you’re in over your head, but don’t give up – just ask for help.
- If you can find a way to be the bigger person, take it. Every time.
- A broken heart always, ALWAYS heals.
- If a crisis seems insurmountable, let your mother make you dinner. Things always look brighter after comfort food.
- Never use someone else’s lack of respect as an excuse to be disrespectful in turn.
- Being frugal isn’t pleasant, but it’s better than being broke.
- Always make time for your family. They’re the ones who love you most.
