Writeacher, I have thought out and reposted my ideas. I would like it if you could add in what you also want to say, that way the next time I do something similar to this, I could recognize all the different things beyond the lines to add.
To laugh often and much;
-Find humour in things and enjoy every bit.
To win the respect of intelligent people
-Behave nicely and well before elders
and the affection of children;
-show compassion for children, and make them realize that you are their friend.
to earn the appreciation of honest critics
and endure the betrayal of false friends;
To do all you can to make your critics happy and adopt the pain your friends give you.
To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others;
- to love other's for who they are and get to know all the wonderful qualities they possess.
to leave the world a bit better,
whether by a healthy child,
a garden patch
or a redeemed social condition;
to know even one life has breathed easier
because you have lived.
To help out, support and give hope to individuals around. To make the atmosphere around you clean. To lead others to the direction of success.
This is to have succeeded
I don't agree with this:
to earn the appreciation of honest critics
and endure the betrayal of false friends;
To do all you can to make your critics happy and adopt the pain your friends give you.
Honest critics provide constructive criticism for us; they help us see how we can become better people.
False friends are those we are better off without. How do you know how to tell who your false friends might be?
I think you've missed some obvious things here:
to leave the world a bit better,
whether by a healthy child,
a garden patch
or a redeemed social condition;
to know even one life has breathed easier
because you have lived.
To help out, support and give hope to individuals around. To make the atmosphere around you clean. To lead others to the direction of success.
I've underlined the sections you have completely omitted. How will you include these ideas?
