1. DO NOT ASSUME: seek clarification before forming an opinion/argument

2. CONTROL YOUR TEMPER: give yourself one hour to cool down after any and all altercations. NO case is a special case

3. DO NOT SHUT DOWN: after cool down time, talk truthfully and rationally

4. STOP being RESENTFUL, JEALOUS, and COMPETITIVE TO A FAULT

5. DO NOT STRESS the SOCIAL STRATA: that includes trying to figure everybody out

6. SHUT UP, YOU IDIOT: think thrice before you say anything, to anyone

7. DO NOT COMPARE YOUR BODY: your body is your own, judged by its own standards, and in the meantime, boost your confidence - make yourself feel pretty

8. MANAGE YOUR TIME: NO MORE last minute preparations for school assignments, piano performances, deadlines in general

9. CULTIVATE YOURSELF: read more, learn more, talk more, live more

10. Above all, remember: BE YOU. EMBRACE YOU. It is the only way to DISCOVER YOU.
