Simple Rules to Live by

• Never betray anyone, but if you must, never betray someone who has impacted you life for the better.
• Always think of others when you do anything. Drive as if you are behind yourself, speak as if you are talking to yourself.
• Treat people with respect, make them comfortable even if that means at your own expense.
• Live life to the fullest by enjoying it with friends and family.
  
• Don't do something for a moment of pleasure that will be lost in guilt.
  
• Act the way you want to act, don't drink or do drugs because you want to act the way you do when you are drunk or high.
  
• Regrets are a part of life, living with no regrets is impossible, just learn from those mistakes.
• Set goals, keep accomplishments on the down low, and acknowledge the feats of others.
  
• You are who you are, make the best of it.
• Religion is different for everyone, if you dare to speak of your own, make sure you listen to the views of others.
• People will change and so will time, adjust reasonably.
• The world is a gateway to new and interesting ideas, stories, events, lifestyles, cultures, and most importantly of all different people...use it.
  
• The outside world is much more exciting than a computer screen, we are humans now go interact with ones in PERSON.
• Don't do something because others are doing it, do it because you want to. Honestly who really wanted to wear those baggy pants back in the 90s, what benefit did they bring besides extra pockets and the ability to conceal unknown objects.
• Stray out of your comfort zone, if only once in awhile, you will be surprised of the treasures hidden behind your fears.
• Take care of your body, and you will reap many benefits.
• There are many mysterious to life, it is one of the joys of living, don't worry too much about most of them, odds are you won't solve them, but if your lucky you may live long enough to see some of them solved.
• God is important, without him there is no faith, without faith there is no afterlife, with out afterlife there is no hope, don't take that away from someone, even if you believe that you have got it all figured out and think there is no such thing. Odds you have not a clue except a lot of education, and who knows if that is even right.
  
• You will make mistakes and do stupid things, laugh at it, apologize and move on.
  
• Live your age, don't act older, when you are young, because the rest of your life you will want to be young again.
  
• Be productive, make something that makes you proud, write a journal, paint a picture, make a song, but don't watch TV to much.
• Give without expecting something in return.
  
• Smile, it will make a difference.
