-Find something you enjoy and put your whole heart into it. Nothing beats having a hobby and having the health to enjoy it. And if your body has failed you, exercise your mind. It's a terrible thing to waste because of age.
-Keep your own thoughts under control and don't try to control others. You can give good advice, but learn to take it as well. We all can continue to learn as we get older. Once knowledge ceases, so do we. If you keep your thoughts in order then you won't have time to try to tend to other people's business and you'll be better off for it.
-Enjoy the life you have been handed and do the best that you can with it. Maybe your life didn't turn out like you expected. I can tell you up to this point mine hasn't either. Whatever the case, you have two choices: rebell against what life has given you and be miserable, or take it as it comes and give God praise for every minute. I believe I prefer the latter.
-Make sure that you know the truth before you open your mouth to speak. Older people get accused of gossip more than anybody else but teenagers. It's because so many people speak opinion as fact with no regard for the truth. Don't say something as fact when it isn't the truth. In fact, it's better to say nothing at all than to make statements that are hurtful to others without knowing the whole circumstance.
