Here are mine.
Show some
humility
. To be
cocky
and
arrogant
is only human nature, especially while young; but it does not encourage others to help you
mature
and become less
foolish
.
Question
everything. Do it while you're young, and take
special
care to do it when you are older. Only by questioning can we continue to grow as individuals and as a
race
.
Don't be afraid to be
human
. You
will
think thoughts that are technically "
evil
", and you
will
want to do things you know you shouldn't. This is not wrong, and any person or religion that says otherwise is a danger to your
happiness
.
Always try to look on the
bright
side of
life
. It's a lie that every cloud has a silver
lining
, and it's hard to defeat
negative
emotion, but there are many simple joys in life that sometimes make it all feel worthwhile. See:
art
,
music
, the
joy
of
creativity
.
Don't get bogged down with other people's
trouble
s, but don't show them a lack of compassion. If you do, then don't expect
compassion
from them when things get tough for you.
We'd all save each other a lot of
grief
if we didn't try to convert people to our
belief
s. Don't expect people to
respect
your beliefs if they are contrary to your own, because many people won't. This may not be right, but it is human nature.
Anger at something you cannot change is
futile
, and often a source of great
sadness
or
frustration
. Try to get out of this hole as soon as you can, whether it be something small like your brother being late to pick you up, or the violence in
Israel
. The best thing to do in a situation like this is to try and
help
rather than expressing
anger
. If you can do this, you are truely a
strong
person.
Companion to commandment seven:
Sadness
about something you cannot change or have no control over only increases the net amount of sadness in the
world
.
Conformity is the
opiate of the masses
.
If conformity makes you happy, then so be it. If it does not, then don't let anyone tell you that you are
wrong
for not conforming.
Enjoy yourself. This is utmost in importance.
