Before turning 18!

Wonders and the caller tagged me!!!!! God, I have always loved the tag thingy =)

Here are the 6 things everybody should learn before they turn 18:

1- Don’t distinguish the person you are by looking through the eyes of others. The true person whom you want to be and who is actually “you” lays within your heart and your soul. People can underestimate or overestimate you, you are the only one who is capable of knowing your potentials, your true self, your passion, you strength and weaknesses and all that. Don’t wait for others’ flatters and compliments, and don’t be downhearted and inoperative just because someone felt like criticizing you (even if you felt it is right). Be strong, and be confident.

2- Be real, by all it means. Don’t paint your face, don’t try to be someone whom you are not, don’t make up stories to please people.

3- Don’t change for anyone, especially the loved ones. Someone out there will appreciate you for who you are.

4- Put a plan all together, work for it. AND try to have a backup plan if things go wrong. In other words, have a purpose. Your life will be easier if you know where you are heading.

5- Write the things you want to do in your life down , and read them every year on your birthday. This will always let you know how close you are to your dreams, how far, and how you are going to achieve them.

6- Let the love and the care of your family be the center of your attention. Love them back. I am writing this because of specific incident that had happened a couple of days ago. I know someone who has a great family, but searching for the love and attention outside, and is insecure for reasons I don’t know. Trust me, love always starts with the nearest circle, and then it grows outside. When you have a solid base, you will always know how to act when disappointments happen outside, you will never overreact. You will stand for a minute, think, get over it, and move on.

Well… That’s all for now =) I felt like writing more, but a rule is a rule after all..

Thanks wonders and the caller =)
