1. It will get better. I promise all these problems will be stories one day and youโll laugh at them thinking how silly you were. 2. Donโt make promises you canโt keep. If their laugh isnโt music to your ears or you donโt see the whole world in their eyes, donโt promise to love them forever. 3. Your grades donโt define you. The test you almost failed wonโt matter in 10 years, what will matter is how good of a person you are. 4. However, donโt ignore your education. Education is one of the most powerful weapons you can ever have. Read as many books as you can and never ever stop learning. 5. Listen to your mother, I promise whatever she advises you is probably the best for you. No one truly wants the absolute best for you as much as your mother. 6. Never ever comment on anyoneโs appearance, if they canโt fix it in 5 minutes. Criticisms stick and they will see that thereโs something wrong with them everytime they look in the mirror, even if it for a split second. 7. Compliment people as much as you can, kindness goes a long way in such a cruel world. 8. Never ever forget where you came from no matter how high you reach, be as humble as you can, because you can lose everything in a second and you wonโt have anywhere to go except back home. 9. If they want to leave for no reason, hold the door open for them. If they think you donโt deserve an explanation for why theyโre leaving, then they donโt deserve a second of your time. 10. Love yourself, love yourself, love yourself. I canโt stress this enough, it is a long process, but every time you see a flaw in yourself, learn to love it, then watch yourself slowly change it.
