It's not hard, and it's well worth the effort to stay fit...you will protect your body from injury, and be able to do things easily, even as you age.

Keep your home and your person tidy. These good habits carry over in your day-to-day life in subtle but beneficial ways.

Be ready, willing and able to lend a helping hand in small tasks and large. You never know who you'll meet, or whose life you might save.

Credit is your enemy. Use it sparingly or it will bury you and turn your life into a hell-hole.

You're an individual human-being on the planet. While you may be part of a team at work or at play, you are still all you. Strive to be an inspiration instead of a dirt-bag.

Stay clean in your mind and body, so you will be aware and ready for anything.

I have taught my children that every action and decision that is made has an impact (good or bad) in their lives and may possibly impact others. Self respect, self-determination and confidence are some of the traits that can help them grow up to be good and empathic people. The world is to beautiful to be wasting time on what other people think.
My kids are still small (twin girls 5 to and my son 7) but It is never to early to instill good moral values. <3

1) take responsibility for your actions weather right or wrong
2) if your 15 minutes early then you are late
3) if not proficient at a task practice it until you are
4) if it is only 1/2 correct then it is totally wrong do it over and do it correctly
5) be motivated disciplined, don't be a slacker or a whiner

Honesty, integrity, and most of all, faith in my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, the Son of Almighty God.

Two phrases
“If it’s worth doing, it’s worth doing your best all the time.”
“If you’re early, you’re on time; if you’re on time, you’re late”

Love of country, honesty, loyalty to friends and doing a good job.

Respect the flag. Show respect to all-above and below. Try to keep your word. (sometimes you won't be able to, but at least they'll know you tried). Do the best you can with what you have.

I have read dozens of your comments on this subject and find that all of them are true. I have waited to make a posting because it is hard to pick out just one thing. Each comment is valid and deserves recognition. I would encourage you to read each comment and ponder it. Then my advice would be to listen and pay attention because what you learn and develop as habits and traits become you as a person. What kind of person do you want to be? Think about that and when people who offer advice, listen and weigh it on how that fits in with you life and expectations. No one person has all the answers so sometimes we learn some of our best lessons from the most unexpected sources. Pay attention! In the end we all will stand before our maker and be held accountable.

Take responsibility for your actions and choices. and be a Man or Woman of your word.

Honesty, integrity, selflessness, pride in yourself and your work, doing what's right, and helping others when they need it or ask for it.
