A Mother's advice to her Child...

Always,
Be understanding to your enemies.
Be loyal to your friends.
...Be strong enough to face the world each day.
Be weak enough to know you cannot do everything alone.

Always,
Be generous to those who need your help.
Be frugal with that you need yourself.
Be wise enough to know that you do not know everything.
Be smart enough to continue learning.

Always,
Be willing to share your joys.
Be willing to share the sorrows of others.
Be a leader when you see a path others have missed.
Be a follower when you are shrouded by the mists of uncertainty.

Always,
Be first to congratulate an opponent who succeeds.
Be last to criticize a colleague who fails.
Be sure where your next step will fall, so that you will not tumble.
Be sure of your final destination, by setting your goals along the way.

And Most Important of All...
Do not Be Ashamed for what You Are...
Be Yourself and Appreciate whoever You are and whatever You Can Do
Because EveryOne of Us is Special...
