Top Ten Things My Mom Taught Me

10. To appreciate learning for the sake of knowledge.

9. To Have confidence in myself and my own abilities.

8. To accept my failures and learn from them.

7. To strive to overcome my failures and weaknesses and be better just for striving.

6. To take care of myself and not to rely on anyone else for my own survival.

5. To take responsibility for myself and my actions.

4. To take responsibility for my family and my world, to care for them as they have cared for me.

3. To find joy and beauty in simple things.
