1. Accept others for who they are whether you like what they do or
not, just as you want other to do to you. Defend their rights to be
who they are as you would want others to defend your rights.

2. Learn who you are and stand up for what you believe in, not what
others tell you to believe in.

3. Recognize everyone has faults and downfalls, even yourself.
Strive to overcome yours and not blame not others for theirs.

4. Learn not only from your own mistakes but everyone's.

5. Think before acting.

6. Honor the words you speak, the pledges you make and the
agreements into which you enter to the best of your ability.

7. Try to improve the lives of other's by improving yourself.

8. Strive to make the best of every day.

9. Find something to care about as absolute apathy breeds contempt,
absolutely.

10. Believe in yourself and do something every day you can be proud
of.
