ADVICE FOR YOUNG PEOPLE
ADVICE TO THE YOUNG
Be true to your eyes, ears, thoughts, and feelings;
Listen to your heart but yield to your mind’s best
Judgment;
Be kind and wise in spoken words, for surely your
Words will follow you;
Be not afraid of risks but be cautious of actions
Driven by emotion, confusion, and false friends;
Avoid jealousy of others’ achievements and possessions;
Don’t live with an insatiable greed for more than
You can appreciate or use;
Don’t eat more than your hunger’s call or
Drink beyond your thirst’s needs;
Listen to spirits that favour you and offend not
Those that oppose you;
Absorb yourself in an activity worthy of your unique
Talent, and develop as many common
Potentialities as you desire and can;
Whatever you do, do it as well as you can;
Live comfortably with your conscience,
And be at peace with your soul;
Be courageous in life, while always respecting
Death’s luring and lurking;
Rest when tired and think when you are uncertain;
Be kind to the sacredness of life and respect the
Natural order of the universe;
Follow no one or no thing except your own judgment
And your own divine wish;
Love and respect yourself and your family;
Be all you can by developing yourself;
Do all you can in helping worthy others;
And live a quality and meaningful life.
