Don't give Up
Don’t give up.
Life throws you curve balls and sometimes you strike out. Other times you get beaned by the pitch and you’re on the disabled list for a while.
But if you keep getting back in the box and swing at enough pitches, you’ll get your fair share of hits.
It takes time, effort, and patience but it will eventually turn your way…as long as you don’t give up. You matter. You are important.
No one else in this world is like you and we need you. Don’t give up. Don’t ever give up.

Live for something bigger than yourself.
Live for something bigger than yourself.
If you haven’t yet learned this universal truth, I hope you will someday soon. Life really becomes meaningful and filled with purpose when you learn you aren’t the center of the universe.
Life is not all about getting that job with the corner office or the handsome paycheck. It’s not about vacationing in Europe every summer or making “bank” as my 19 year-old son likes to say.
Life becomes worthwhile when you realize it’s about giving more than you get.
It’s about serving others, not yourself.
One of the mysterious paradoxes in life is the more you give your time, talent, and treasure to others, the more deep-seated satisfaction you receive in return. I don’t know how else to describe it and I don’t think there’s a way you can learn it without doing it.
Give it a try. Sooner rather than later. You’ll save yourself a lot of wasted living.

Goals
Set goals... every day.
You should set yourself goals every day, write them down and follow up.
You should have goals for the day, for the week , then long range goals and finally goals 5- 10 years off. The long range goals do not have to specific but where do you see yourself and then set your goals accordingly.
By writing down your daily goals it will help you organize your day. The night before go through the next day in your head, what do you need? Who do you need to contact? and so on..
Cross off your "to do list" as you along and work on them early.
Don't wait or procrastinate ...get er done.

Care
Care about what you do and you will be successful.
Show people that you care, it is not enough to just assume people know.. show them !
Take the time to look up and show people that they are important and that you truly care. Listen to them and smile.
It is crazy how many people forget that last one.. smile.
When you smile it becomes contagious and not only that you will start to feel better about yourself and your day.
It starts with you and ends with you.

Don't Compare
Don’t compare yourself to others.
Playing the comparison game is a guaranteed way to make yourself miserable and unhappy.
There will always be someone who has a better job, makes more money, owns a bigger house, or accumulates more “stuff” than you.
But that doesn’t mean they’re happier than you. Learning how to be content in all circumstances is one of the secrets of life.
If you can find contentment, gratefulness, and thankfulness for what you do have, then you’ve got it all.
Don't Stress
Don’t stress, it’s normal to not know what you want to do with the rest of your life.
Most of us are bozos on the same bus; we’re figuring out life as we go. Very few of us have a crystal clear purpose of what we want to do in life, and even many of those high achievers giving the graduation speeches will take unexpected turns in life that deviate from their original plan.
It’s called life.
We learn, grow, and mature (hopefully) and our wants and desires change over the course of time.
But somehow life has a way of working out.
Gratitude
“Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it.” William Arthur Ward
“I would maintain that thanks are the highest form of thought; and that gratitude is happiness doubled by wonder.” G.K. Chesterton
“Gratitude is a currency that we can mint for ourselves, and spend without fear of bankruptcy.” Fred De Witt Van Amburgh
“The way to develop the best that is in a person is by appreciation and encouragement.” Charles Schwab
“The deepest craving of human nature is the need to be appreciated.” William James
