Things to Tell Your Son or Daughter
Before They Go to College
1.
Your happiness
or unhappiness depends on you. Don’t let anyone steal your dreams.
2.
Always set goals
along with a plan to accomplish those goals.
3.
Make fitness and
health a way of life.
4.
If you think
it’s not right, don’t do it. Listen to the voice in back of your head.
5.
Just because
everyone else is doing it, it doesn’t mean it’s right. It doesn’t mean you
should do it.
6.
Only take
creative, calculated risks.
7.
Be safe.
8.
Hang out with
good people. You know the difference.
9.
Always be
respectful and do not accept anything less in return.
10. Be organized.
11. Always contribute service to your community.
12. Have integrity.
13. Be Nice.
14. Potential minus commitment equals nothing.
15. If you’re not successful, blame yourself.
16. No one owes you anything.
17. Your parents will always love you.
18. Love your parents unconditionally. They do not owe
you a college education.
19. Always look at other people’s points of view
20. Never sell yourself short. Never let anyone tell you
you cannot do something.
21. If you don’t know what to pursue, follow your
passion. Money will be there.
22. Everyone makes mistakes, some you can learn by;
others can put you in a bad place permanently.
23. There’s a big difference between loving someone and
being in love. You can love your pet.
24. You will have many more failures than successes, or
you never tried to accomplish anything.
25. When you listen to the soundtrack of your life, what
do you hear?
26. Responsibility is not a part time job.
27. If you want advice, look inside a fortune cookie. If
you want my opinion, make it count.
There are many
more to come but I had to get this list out before my daughter went to college.
