Don’t take life too seriously. It is full of beautiful ups and devastating downs; but it never stops moving forward no matter what. I base my life on getting through each day with a smile and not letting the small things get to me. Do what makes you happy, but be smart about it. Only you can make you happy so become friends with yourself. Get to know your own mind so you can work on your weaknesses. Be kind to everyone, because everyone deserves it. Help anyone who asks for it. You never have the right to put someone else down because we are all at an equal level and nobody is in a position to make judgement on others. Listen to people, don’t just hear them. Be honest all the time. Make mistakes and learn from them. Experiment with new things and discover new interests. Life is amazing and everybody needs to explore it and experience as much as possible. 

The pessimist complains about the wind, the optimist expects it to change, and the realist adjusts the sails.
