I believe in experiencing everything. Most people don’t want to know the truth and the reality that comes with it, through honesty is the only way you will get to know a person and be able to get past the boundaries that we all put up and problems before us.

My dad always said it is crucial in order to be successful you must  learn from peoples mistakes, but more importantly know when it is ok to make your own, because no one will do everything right. Never hold back, even if you think you are wasting your time, there will always be something to learn from any experience, it just depends on the way you look at things.

Life is full of change and most people don’t embrace it. When you make change you need to expect the drama and uncertainty that comes with doing something different. Be ready for it, plan, and think of it as a personal challenge of your skills. If you can  cope with a situation that might seem out of control to others, then you may have already won a battle. In life it is not important how many people you can knock down, it is important how many times you can get knocked down and keep getting up.

Always try to have a positive attitude. Don’t let frustrations and poor luck get in the way. People do not want to be with someone always portraying their own self-pity. This  will only push away the people that will really want to help you.

Don’t be afraid to admit you are in over your head. Be honest about who you are and where you are going in life. Stop and take a breath. In the long run you will be better off.

Be a role model, inspire, push and motivate people. Through other’s fortunes you will be repaid in some form or another even if it does not happen immediately, it will. If someone else becomes a better person due to your influence than you have both gained respect and gratitude from the situation.

Above all the most important thing is to be a good friend.If you are lucky you will have one great true friend.  Friendship is the one thing that you will miss the most if it is taken away or lost. Always become friends first this applies to every relationship you make. Always try to build that bridge of friendship between people; without it, you are just going through the motions. Never, never burn bridges. Treat everybody you meet , the way you would want to be treated. 

Always Respect!!!!!!!!!!!!
