Ten Lessons You Want to Teach Your Kids

1. Appreciate the little things.
2. Don't rush life.
3. Don't pick your friends based on the color of their skin, the house they live in, the clothes they wear, or the car they drive. Pick them for the qualities that matter in the long run.
4. Respect the elderly. Show patience and listen to their stories. You will learn a lot.
5. Pick a career that based on the happiness it brings you, not for the $$ you earn.
6. Respect the beliefs and lifestyles of others. We are all different. Celebrate the differences.
7. Don't be a follower. Stand up for what you believe in, and don't feel pressured to follow something you do not agree with.
8. Don't be taken advantage of in love, friendships or work.
9. Give of your heart and of your time. Charity isn't just about the dollars.
10. Remember your roots. No matter who you become, remember where you came from.

Joyously roaming through life. Meeting its topographical challenges, and facing each with a sarcastic wit, and an impetuous need to face even more bumps, dips, pits and peaks. How the hell else did I end up with a 22 year old, a 20 year old and a 4 year old?
