To Mehoon

10 things I want you to know.

1. There is no reason not to be nice to anybody unless they don’t deserve it.
2. It’s ok to let others take advantage of you a little, but never ever take advantage of anybody.
3. Everybody has something worthwhile to listen to even though they’re obviously stupid.
4. Don’t ever blame other people, fate, or luck for your own mistakes.
5. Remember everything worthwhile, and also remember some silly things, too.
6. If you’re like me, your biggest obstacle in life is yourself.
7. Be honest, don’t cheat and don’t lie
8. You will have to do things you don’t want to do a lot more than things you want to do.
9. Be nice to your dad when you’re a teenager.
10. Don’t just let anybody take your “being nice” as an opportunity to walk all over you.
