Some Good Advice Part 3

I hope you have enjoyed my last two posts, here is part three to go along with them.

1. "Relax, you're 14. Go be a kid. You only got 4 more years before you're expected to grow up. No one ever does though. I guess that's my advice that I'm going to give to you. Adults are just kids who can buy whatever they want."
2. "If you plan to be on computers a lot (assuming you will since you are on reddit now) - research and follow correct ergonomics for typing. I thought I could do it forever at 14, now I'm 30 and have terrible wrist problems. (I'm a programmer, but important regardless)"
3. "Exercise. Lift weights. Do lots of calisthenics. You'll love yourself later for it when you're ripped and attracting lots of members of the opposite and probably same sex, plus you'll feel better."
4. "Always pay off your credit card every month. ALWAYS. If for any reason you can't, cup it up until you pay it off and then request a new one when the balance is zero."
5. "You always have the power to make a change in your circumstances
   Learn at least one foreign language proficiently
   It is better to ask for help when you need it then to try and blunder on on your own
   Save as much money as you can
   When you do spend money it is better to spend it on experiences than things
   Read everything you can get your hands on
   Take internships, talk with your teachers/professors, etc."
6. "Always pay off your credit card every month. ALWAYS. If for any reason you can't, cup it up until you pay it off and then request a new one when the balance is zero."
7. "It's easier to take a chance and know how it ends then to spend the rest of your life wondering, "What if?""
8. "Don't be too proud to ask for help or find a shoulder to cry on. Everyone has their time of weakness, the difference between the "strong" and the "weak" is that the strong seek help through professional means or find a support structure of friends to talk about how much life sucks at the moment."
9. "Disappointment will follow you whether youre afraid of it or not. Take chances. Be bold, have confidence.
   Decide what you want to be and go for it. Always be willing to start on at the bottom of the ladder. Success comes through paying your dues.
   Never let school get in the way of your education.
   Remember most of High School doesnt matter. Dont let it get to you.
   Go to every school dance. Force your friends to go with you.
   Go on family vacations. Smile when you do. Dont sulk. Enjoy it."
10. "Dont get in a rut. Do new things. Change your routine often.
    Its a great big world out there, see as much of it as absolutely possible. Go to new places near and far.
    Speak up. Share your opinion.
    Be friends with everyone. Smile at everyone. Learn as many names as possible, and say hi to them in the hall. Dont assume people dont remember who you are; remember them and remind them that you know them."

Don't forget that all of these quotes are directed toward a 14-year-old and I did not in any way edit any quotes except in the case of an ellipsis (...) which, by the way, I didn't even use in this post (in this post I did not edit the quotes one bit).  If you want the original thread, you can find it here: http://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/isezb/advice_for_a_14_year_old/.
