Things I preached to my kids and myself

It is two clock in the afternoon, one is playing her piano, a rare event, another is on the phone, talking full volume on the phone.

1. No food bed! No exceptions. Snacks included.

2. No playing or eating in bed. Bed is only for sleeping or napping. 

3. Listen to your mom, and do whatever she asks you to do.

4. Finish and complete whatever your mom asked you to do before she asks you again.

5. Be aware of your time and deadlines. Always give yoursel enough time.

6. Be kind and be generous.

7. Be proud in whatever you do. Have a simple sense of accomplishment each day.

8. Follow the rules and social norms, but do not be a conformist.

9. Be selfish and be proud. Let  the nay sayers be.
10. Don't waste your energy on things that you can't control.
