1. Never lower your self esteem
a. If you do that you will be down and always fail. I believe this rule because it makes sense to me because when you lower you self esteem you set yourself up for failure and you will be down. I came to follow this rule when I had a low self esteem sometimes and I noticed that I would fail when I did. I learned this rule by my experiences.
2. Never give up
3. I believe this rule because if you do you will never succeed and always feel down about yourself and others and always be sad. I came to believe in this rule by when I don’t try I always am unhappy and I fail.
4. Don’t judge other people
a. Because if you do this you won’t have many friends. I came to believe this by the famous quote “Never judge a book by its cover”
5. There is always good in another person
a. Everyone even if you dislike them has good in them. I came to believe this rule by disliking people then ending up being friends with them.
6. Never be overconfident
a. I believe this because you will fail if you’re overconfident. I came to believe this by watching other people being overconfident and failing.
7. I believe you should always be nice.
a. I believe this because you can hurt other people’s feelings if you aren’t. I came to believe this by being mean to others then they would be mean back.
8. Stand up for yourself
a. I believe this because if you don’t you will always be walked on. I came to believe this by watching other people not standing up themselves and being walked all over.

9. Don’t ever showboat
a. I value this because no one will like you if you do it all the time. I came to believe this by showboating and no one liking that I did that.
9. I believe it’s important to always tell the truth
a. I value this because no one will talk to you or listen to what you say if you lie. I came to believe this by watching others do this and sometimes myself.
10. I believe that everyone should show respect:
a. I value this rule because you should show respect and not talking back is a good way to show respect. I believe this by not showing many people respect then they won’t show me respect.
