To live your life with honour and courage, to never
give up, to be proud of whom you are and what you’ve accomplished. Take pride
in yourself and in those that are important to you, and never stop showing the
people who matter just how important they are to you. Always try new things,
and never be caught up in monotony. Constantly change your life and reinvent
yourself. Join clubs, try new things, and let yourself go every once in a
while. Laugh every single day of your life, no matter how hard things are, and
never forget the important things are the little ones. The moments in time that
are fleeting and constant and eternal: the things that make you smile every day
are the ones that you hold on too.
Always work hard, and when you can’t give off your
best, give of as close to as you can. You can’t be the best at everything all
the time, and you will mess up sometimes. It’s okay to fail, so long as when
you do, you don’t get suicidal. Just try again and come up with a better plan.
For you more than anyone, achievement will always be important, and so will
money. You don’t need to own the whole world, just a small piece of it. Doesn’t
matter where it is, just make it worth every tear, every pain, every smile,
every late night. Never settle on what you want and never compromise on who you
are. Always be real.
Learn to stop holding grudges, forgive and start
thinking before you open your mouth. In the world we live in, bending is better
than breaking and you’ve broken before. Build something worth remembering and
change as many lives as you can before you die. Never stop believing in the
power of words and never stop writing. It’s your greatest talent.
Always look at life as a journey, and never stop
moving forward. Never stop learning and never be satisfied with what you have.
Be happy with it, and always work to keep it, to improve it. You are not
mediocre. You are not average. You’ve got a brain. Always use it. Never believe
a fact unless you’ve checked it and never let another influence your opinion or
own you. Keep your own counsel and speak your mind only when it is necessary.
Observe. Learn. And keep your mind sound. Always rely on yourself first
but never forget the power of unity.
Always try. Be it another way, a different idea,
another tactic. Have courage. Believe in yourself, your judgement, your dreams
and your ideals. Never forget, no matter how hard it is, just:
Try
