What 3 things would you advise young people?

For me;
1. Question authority

2. In difficult situations, take the time to take the emotion out of it and weigh the problem objectively.

3. Dare to take a risk and grab the ring of opportunity.

1. Don't lie. Even when you are wrong in something, tell the truth. Liars become nothing because their word is NOTHING.
2. Do not live in fear. Live with courage and be brave.
3. Listen. Become a good listener, and people will respect you for it. Listeners learn, they learn to see through the b.s. And they learn how to reason. Listen and learn a lot. Through people, through friends, and even through those who are not friends. Learn and listen to voices who agree with you, and especially to those who do not. As a listener, and not a follower, you develop skills to see through the fog, and recognize that what makes no sense is nonsense, and you also learn that many people are are like little birds, attracted to the shiny objects, the noise, and the glitter. If you perfect the skill of listening, learning, questioning, you won't be that follower tempted to follow reality tv stars wherever they wish to take us.
