My top 10

This is just my opinion take it as you will some of you will agree others wont and that is great if we all agreed the world would be boring.  I just think these things are important in my life and how I should live it.

1.  always listen to your family if they dont like someone you are dating there is a good reason.

2.  Its not what you know its who you know.  I am a fairly intelligent person I have a college degree and all of that but in both of my jobs I didnt move up because of my educational background it was because of who I knew or I met.  I am not saying I kissed ass but I earned the respect of the right people and the little piece of paper I have isnt doing anything for me.

3.  only say I love you when you mean it.  That phrases is completely over used.  I can honestly say I have only told 5 girls that in my life I am proud of that I dont use to just use or to just get laid.  I however do have friends that throw it around like it is nothing and it makes the rest of us look bad.

4.  remember who your friends are dont give up your friends because you are dating someone and they dont like them.  If they dont get along with your friends then there is probably something wrong with them and they need to go away.

5.  this one comes from my job dont take things personal.  People sometimes take out other things on the person nearest them and it might be you.  I have learned to just smile take a deep breath and be as nice as possible to them.

6.  It is ok to be a kid no matter how old you are.  If you enjoy life, play, laugh and smile you will live longer. 

7.  do what you love.  I know we all have to work to pay the bills but if you hate your job it is not fair to the people around you.  Find something you like to do if you love your job you will want to go and be more successful. (I umpire baseball because I love being on a baseball field not for the money I would work games for free if ask just to be around the game. I do what I love)

8.  dont change for someone and dont try to change people.  I have been on both ends of this if you are dating someone dont try to change or mold them into someone they are not love them for who they are and what flaws they have.  If you try to change that person they wont be happy and if you change for someone you wont like yourself in the long run.

9.  forgive!  Everyone has had someone do something bad to them.  Forgive them dont hold a grudge carrying that with you will only make you a negative person and shorten your life.  I realize somethings seem unforgiveable but it is not our place to judge others that will be taken care of, just forgive and move on.

10.  Smile - this is something that I have just recently realized and that I have changed.  When I was younger I had a friend who called me smiley because I was always smiling well with some of my life experiences I have become negative and cold and dont smile much at all...(look at my pics) well I realize this isnt healthy and I am working on doing #9 forgiving which will allow me to smile more.
