10 QUOTE I LIVE BY

Today’s prompt is to talk about 10 quotes that I live by. 

One quote I live by is “respect your parents and elders”.  I think this is very important because in many places, especially Korea, there are a lot of students who really act disrespectfully toward adults.  I have seen this happen many times and I feel like they should change.

My second quote that I live by is “Be thankful for what you have”.  There are rich people in the world that are not thankful for what they have and don’t know the importance of what they have.  People that were naturally born into a rich family don’t know how good they have it.  They go out spending as much as they can when there are people in this world that are starving to death. 

My third quote is “Be kind to everyone, even your enemies”.  This sounds stupid, I know.  Why would one be kind to his or her enemy?  This is an understandable question.  I thought it was stupid at first too.  But I realized that being kind will bring kindness to you too.  What goes out eventually comes back in.  It is also possible for an enemy to become your best friend.

My fourth quote is “YOLO”.  This was said by a rapper named Drake.  I didn’t know what this meant at first but my friend told me that it means YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE.  It is basically saying that one should enjoy his or her life because there is only one of it.  You should live everyday as it is your last.

My fifth quote is the famous quote, “The early bird gets the worm”.  It is saying that we should not procrastinate and do what one should do. 

My sixth quote is to always be happy.  There are going to be bad things in life, I know it.  But it is how one interprets that bad thing which determines how it is going to affect one’s life.  I believe that bad things can turn into good things just with mere mind control.  We only live once, why should we live it sadly?

My seventh quote is to forget what happened in the past and think about the future.  I have seen people who dominate their lives with thoughts of the past, good and bad.  I think this is stupid because it is already over and there are things coming at you from the future which is what you should actually think about.  What good does it do to think about the past?

My eighth quote is to take care of health.  My grandparents once said that studying isn’t important, what is really important is your health.  This really stays in my head because I strongly agreed.  Sure, academics is important, but academics can’t be done without health right?  Keeping one’s body healthy is a deed they got when they were born into this world

My ninth quote is to never look down on anyone.  I looked down on people, everyone does.  I realized that everyone has their own story and a reason for their doings.  Even a beggar on the street has their own story.  A lot of people look down on beggars for not even trying to be successful in this world but who knows, maybe he had an illness from birth and has to spend all his money on medication. 

My tenth quote is to WAIT FOR MY NEXT BLOG!!
