“If it is not right, do not do it; if it is not true, do not say it.”

-        Marcus Aurelius

   Roman Emperor from 161 AD to 180 AD

If you know that something is wrong then don’t do it. It could bring you problems because of the action you decided to take, which was wrong. If you don’t know that something is true or a lie just don’t mention anything about it. This will bring a lot of drama into your life. For example, don’t do drugs because it’s wrong and it’s bad for your health. Don’t spread rumors that you don’t know if it’s true.

7 Habits of Highly Successful Teens

Habit 7

Part 1

Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw

Teens should never get too busy living to take time to renew themselves. When teens “sharpen the saw” they are keeping their personal self sharp so that they can better deal with life. It means regularly renewing and strengthening the four key dimensions of life –body, mind, heart, and soul

1)    Body. Eat wholesome foods, fruits, vegetables, legumes. Avoid illegal drugs, smoking, alcohol, tobacco products, tattooing. Exercise regularly and effectively. Get to bed early at night and get up early each morning. “Early to bed early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.”

2)     Mind. Think positively. Read. Study. Think. Analyze. Seek to read a good book each month. Then each week. Ask intelligent questions. Observe. Develop your mind through positive “self-talk.”
