1) There are absolutes
Yes there are moral absolutes and unalterable truths. And if you don't believe it, accept it, agree with it, want it or like it, TOUGH!. They exist nonetheless.
2) Not everything is absolute
A lot of what we believe is our opinion. Learn to tell the difference.
3) Government is like a dragon
Feed it too much and it will burn down your village and destroy all that you value. Tread lightly.
4) Find two passions
One that matters and one that doesn't. Let the one that doesn't matter refresh you for the one that does.
5) Love others as yourself
Many people misinterpret this. Take care not to replace the word as with the word not. Don't take out the middle two words either.
6) Accept blame
Whenever you say "its not my fault" you lose the power to change it
7) Acknowledge your talents
Your talents and abilities are a gift from Heaven. Would you want someone to ridicule a gift they received from you?
8) To each his own
As long as they're not violating absolutes, leave them alone. The Trekker that speaks Klingon isn't worse than you, just different. And different is good.
9) Plan for success
If you're hoping that some guy or gal will ask you out on Friday night, don't make other plans that night. Assume that whatever you want to happen will and plan accordingly. Don't sabotage your dreams, plenty of other things will try to do that for you.
10) The eternal struggle
Until the Righteous King assumes His throne, good and evil will battle. Be vigilant because evil, like the Terminator, never sleeps, stops or concedes. Fortunately, neither does good. The victory in the war is secure but each battle matters to someone!
