The Ten Commandments
figuremeout:laurakelly00:youmaybeoffended:
1. DO NOT ASSUME: seek clarification before forming an opinion/argument
2. CONTROL YOUR TEMPER: give yourself one hour to cool down after any and all altercations. NO case is a special case
3. DO NOT SHUT DOWN: after cool down time, talk truthfully and rationally
4. STOP being RESENTFUL, JEALOUS, and COMPETITIVE TO A FAULT
5. DO NOT STRESS the SOCIAL STRATA: that includes trying to figure everybody out
6. SHUT UP, YOU IDIOT: think thrice before you say anything, to anyone
7. DO NOT COMPARE YOUR BODY: your body is your own, judged by its own standards, and in the meantime, boost your confidence - make yourself feel pretty
8. MANAGE YOUR TIME: NO MORE last minute preparations for school assignments, piano performances, deadlines in general
9. CULTIVATE YOURSELF: read more, learn more, talk more, live more
10. Above all, remember: BE YOU. EMBRACE YOU. It is the only way to DISCOVER YOU.
I really need to work on #8.
