regarding things to be avoided in life to make life happy .What advice would you like to give to young people basing on your experience?
if you don't like to worry don't have kids for a long time. (one here)What advice would you like to give to young people basing on your experience?
The Good book says its better to give than receive. So I would say if you want to be happy with your life, always be helping the people you love(like). That way you will always be happy with yourself. BE CARE FULL OF THE USERS?
never take anyone for granted because before you know it they will be gone
Do for others as you would have them do for you. Seek truth,wisdom, and direction from your elders. Try to eat right and exercise because this will keep you healthy. Enjoy spending time with friends because friendships can be cut short.
Avoid recreation drugs, drinking and smoking. I know you've probably heard this over and over, but that's a good start.





If you choose to have God in your heart, and you live by it, I think it helps alot - to have faith and strength in God. Believe in YOURSELF. Think about what your are doing before you do it, looking at all the pros and cons.





One last thing is to be VERY VERY careful WHO you trust. Sometimes the ones you trust the most can use that against you and take advantage of you. Don't ever trust someone TOO much. I don't mean for you to be paranoid, but just be careful who you hang with. Sometimes even that isn't enough though. If you are ever cornered or pressed for sex and you don't want to, DON'T - and don't be afraid to say NO!
Avoid drugs, alcohol and smoking. Eat right, exercise and take vitamins. You are given only one body and if you want it to last and enjoy your retirement you need to take care of it. Pick your friends carefully. Surround yourself with safe happy people. Don't neglect your spiritual self.
Be truthful with people and animals.


Be kind to yourself.


let small things make you happy


learn a new thing once a day.
Be a leader . Stay clear of trouble.Remember people using the {F} word a lot have no vocabulary ,generaly found in gangs


wanting you to do things thier way .on and on//////////


You don,t have to be rich to be great.
be true to yourself, your friends and your beliefs. don't sweat the small stuff
stay young
Have targets in life every moment of their existence, and : Be Good people to others.


Here is a poem from Rudyard Kipling summarizing the beauty in the human behavior:





IF.....


---------


IF you can keep your head when all about you


Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,


If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,


But make allowance for their doubting too;


If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,


Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,


Or being hated, don't give way to hating,


And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:


If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;


If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;


If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster


And treat those two impostors just the same;


If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken


Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,


Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,


And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:





If you can make one heap of all your winnings


And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,


And lose, and start again at your beginnings


And never breathe a word about your loss;


If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew


To serve your turn long after they are gone,


And so hold on when there is nothing in you


Except the Will which says to them: 'Hold on!'





If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,


' Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch,


if neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,


If all men count with you, but none too much;


If you can fill the unforgiving minute


With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,


Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,


And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!
think of my earlier years as a do not do this sign
Enjoy your youth and dont try to grow up too fast!
After all I've been through, I found that by living for the Lord, there is an inner peace that will make you love your enemies. I can't explain it. It is trusting in Him and OBEYING his word. This may not be what you were looking for, but I'm telling you, after a lot of miserable years, I ran...but now I'm happy inside. You don't want to pretend faith or love, but let it live in you through the Lord. I've tried it all, drugs, drinking, chasing women. Now I have found the way.
I had childern when i was young, 16. i missed out on a lot of things because i wanted to raise my childern right. I am now 36 and my childern are grown.today kids are having kids and they are not raising them right! so it means nothing for them to have them because they still do what they want and dont thiink of what it will do to the kids. My advice is if you are going to have a child be perpared to put your life 2nd and the childs first, or eles dont have one.
My advice would be to remember life is full of possibilities. I'd also say talk to people more. Talking to others and realizing we are all people and have the potential to do good, bad, stupid, wonderful things are there.





Also, work hard, met people out of your social/racial/religous group and volunteer. The one thing I wish I had done was volunteer as a young person.





Don't think what where you are right now is the where you'll be forever...things will change, you'll learn and grow.





Take time to listen to those around you but judge for yourself whether you like what they're saying...does if make sense to you. Question and reflect. Also, read, read,read... ; )
don't tug on supermans' cape don't play cards with a man named bart and never sleep with a girl with more problems than yourself.
Do good things. Don't be afraid to help people!


Avoid those negative people who nitpick, insult and fault find cause eventually they'll do that to you too.. unless you be their puppet. You sure don't want to be a persons puppet.. if you were you just wouldn't be yourself cause you'd have no time to be yourself!
Avoid...MEAN people, even if you are related to them..it is just not excuse enough to let them drag you down. Avoid rabble rousers and troublemakers...drama queens and religious zealots. Follow your heart...and with that as your guide, you will pretty much avoid the really preventably unhappy things in your life.
Come on , make all the mistakes you'll do anyway,if you dont make any you are either God(and he-she made plenty too) or you're death.
Never have sex too young - before you are old enough to deal with the consequences eg pregnancy or HIV


Stand up for yourself when you know you are right.


Phone the police when your step dad just left in his car too drunk to put a sentence together or beating your mother.


Tell a responsible adult when you are being abused


Take what talents you have and use them


Study as hard as you can and make something of your life


Follow your passion and not somebody else's


Never give up on yourself


Learn how to love and respect yourself


Never judge other people... you never know what your future has in store


Keep an open mind


Understand something before you wag your jaw about it


If you can't help somebody - don't hurt them


Be with somebody that you WANT to be with - not somebody that you NEED


Spend as much time as you can with your children


LISTEN what other people has to say


Think before acting


Try to be the best person you can be, the world will be a better place for it.


Never talk about somebody behind their back


Learn something new every day


Try do do things that scare you


LIVE your LIFE


Watch your eating habits and your weight


Dont ever pick up a cigarette


Drink responsibly - DRUNK is not cool...
I am 44 years old, still young but fastly aging and hopefully getting wiser!


I do have some good advice for you. I don't know how old you exactly are, or what sex you are, but that shouldn't matter too much.


The number one thing is to stop worrying or over thinking what others think about you. Don't be too cold in a sociopathic way, but do not be too sensitive and realize you can't be everything to all people. If somebody doesn't like you or insults you, erase them from your life, and keep on smiling, literally.


if you are in a relationship (now or future) with somebody who drags you down, or demeans you in any way, get rid of them immediately.


Get a good job that pays well and don't be a slave to the job.


If you want privacy and there is a party you are supposed to go to, stay home, do what you want to do.


Not that I am saying be a self centered jerk, but do things that you want to do, and don't do things you don't want to do.


Be selective in relationships. Don't get tied down. But look for one that builds you up and makes you happy.


Don't waste too much money, a nice fat bank account will make your life a lot easier!
be truthful to yourself and others
Respect elders, consider every person opposite u, side of u behind u, as some kind of a blessing, bad or good, doesnt matter
The Pleasures of this world are short and allot of times not always sweet. Guard your mind against fear and hate. Show Love at every chance you get even to those whom hate you or despise you.


Give Love A Change!


Give Peace A Chance!!


Believe and Love God!!!


Read his Words of Power.!!!!
Life isn't about avoiding things. The best advice is to do whatever feels most right for you to do, whatever best expresses who you truly are. Such people are happy.





It's not as easy as you might think.
choose your friends wisely. Those who will build you up, not tear you down.
Always make sure you're setting yourself up for Independence, rather than dependence. If you're young, why not take on a crappy job here %26amp; there to see what you're capable of doing?





I see so many that are paralized by lack of experience and self doubt.
Don't rush things.
1. be honest to your self and to others which includes avoidance of bigotry and hypocrisy.....2. do not be dependant on stimulants like alcohol and other stuff including drugs etc as they are escape routes for few moments and are not permanent solutions....3. be healthy physically and mentally.....4. reason out things, it is a very healthy habit.....5. never ever do things which are not manageable or maintainable like over spending etc or being extra sociable......6. prefer the same things for your self as you would for others......7. keep praying which ever faith you may be from......
pay yourself then the bills or you will always ben in debt


Listen then speak


Live each day like it's your last





Avoid over indulging in unhealthy food, your body is a temple feed it healthy. If you eat bad it will catch up with you.
