10 things I hope my children learn from me

1. Family is the most important thing you will EVER have. No matter what things you acquire throughout your life, nothing can replace family

2. Make new friends, but keep the old. One is silver and the other gold. Next to Family, friends are the people who will help you weave your way through the good and bad in life. They will hold your hand when you are down and throw theirs in the air to rejoice in your success.

3. Friends, part two. Please be careful who you decide to befriend. Always make sure the people you let into your life are helping to make it a better one. Don't let yourself be used.

4. Never cheat people. Try and be as honest in your dealings as possible, whether they are business or personal. What comes around goes around and eventually it will come around to you.

5. Be aware that there is a whole world going on around you. You are not the only one who matters. While you should always take care of yourself, be sure to take care of the ones who surround you too. If not, you may soon find there is no one around.

6.  Money is only a means to survive. You do not need to work yourself to death to have more and more and more. It is nice to have things, but it is nicer to have time to share with the ones you love.

7. The name on the tags of your clothing are of no consequence. It is not the clothes, it is what is inside them that matters. Don't EVER judge someone on their apparel...EVER.

8. You never truly know someone else's circumstance. Be nice. That boy/girl that picks on everyone at school, may be bullied at home. Be nice, please.

9. Try and find a way to give back to the universe. You are blessed with a life of privilege, don't take it for granted.

10. You are special, you are special, you are special. Please make sure you let everyone else you love that              they are too.
