10 life lessons for my graduating seniors



1.       Change is the only thing constant
2.       You don’t know what that person has been through. Be nice to everybody
3.       It is OK to be uncomfortable. It means you are trying something new
4.       New experiences may be good or bad. And that’s ok as long as you grow from it
5.       If something you have tried a couple of times in the past didn’t work, it won’t work in the future
6.       Success is a demonstration of what you already know. Failure informs you on what you need to know
7.       Communicate as though you are explaining it to a lay person. Communication is difficult but worthwhile
8.       Good habits come from practice. Practice makes perfect
9.       Better to fail than cheat. Failing is a flaw in your knowledge. Cheating is a flaw in your character

10.   You can only count on yourself 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Be nice to yourself and be the best person you can be. You deserve to have only the best to count on
