5. Spend life with people you love-  spend life with people who make you the happiest be happy
6. Don't take everything so seriously- when you take everything seriously you can get really stressed and make life too hard
7. Don't knock it till you try it- something can be great but you'll never know if you don't try
8. Learn from your older siblings mistakes- I've learned many lessons from my older brothers mistakes and it has kept me out of a lot of trouble
9. Express yourself- show the world who you really are
