- Conquer your fears, don’t let them conquer you!
- Choose your friends wisely; love those best who love God most
- Have a cause to which you are committed—that you’d rather die for than give up
- Know yourself; know your limitations and your buttons; don’t let anyone determine your action or reactions
- Better to walk away than lose your life or end up in jail
- Keep yourself pure. Be fit and enjoy life to the fullest; you are young only once
- Be honest with yourself and with others
- Take no one for granted; each person is a child of God
- Set goals for your life—both short-term and long-term
- Think before you speak! Listen twice as much as you speak—God gave you two ears but one mouth
