DONT'S 
- DON'T undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different that each of us is special.
- DON'T give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.
- DON'T be afraid to admit that you are less than perfect. It is this fragile thread that binds us to each other.
- DON'T be afraid to encounter risks. It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.
- DON'T run through life so fast that you forget Not only where you've been, but also where you are going.
- DON'T forget, a person's greatest emotional need is to feel appreciated.
- DON'T use time or words carelessly. Neither can be retrieved. Life is not a race, but a journey to be savored each step of the way.
