My Best Advice

Say hi first. Smile first. Wave first. Go for the hug. Show enthusiasm. 

Give compliments. Make people feel good about themselves. Listen and wait to respond - Don't make it about you. 

Don't feel sorry for yourself. Be a positive polly. Be the light. Be present and be confident - Even if you're shaking on the inside.

DANCE. Always dance. 

Make fun of yourself. Laugh at yourself. Make fun of your friends too - The real ones won't mind. 

Have high standards but don't be high maintenance. Yes, there is a difference. 

Be the first to apologize. 

Stand up for your friends, and for yourself. 

Just do what makes you happy - Don't feel like you have to explain it. 

Don't complain - Nobody cares anyway. Work harder. 

Be bold and brave. Feel the fear and do it anyway. Set your goals so high they seem unrealistic. Be creative about accomplishing them. Thing big. Go big or go home. Go bold or go home. 

Read. Read a lot. Read all different kinds of books.
