I posted this on my Facebook the other day. Yes, it was written for a specific person, but I think it can apply to us all. More on the person in a minute...
Everybody LISTEN UP!
Rule #1: DO NOT put anybody down! It just shows that you are an asshole, and that you're just insecure about yourself.
Rule #2: You are an adult, act like it! Stop being fucking selfish. This goes especially to people with kids. Life isn't about you anymore. It's about the person you chose to create.
Rule #3: As you grow older, make an effort to adjust your attitude accordingly. Become more graceful, educated, and humble. It does wonders for your self-esteem.
Rule #4: Keep private matters private. Do NOT post in a public forum about fights you have with you spouse, parent, sibling, etc. It is trashy, rude, and tasteless. Also, when you and your loved one make up, your comment or post is still in a public place FOREVER.
Rule #5: Make an effort to become a happy, pleasant person. What is the point of being angry, resentful, and bitter? You aren't hurting anyone but you, in the meantime you are pushing people close to you away by acting like this. Think about what/who you have to lose. Is that what you want?
Rule #6: Get out a piece of paper. Write down your aspirations and life goals. While you are at it, name a person that you admire and reasons why. Now work on accomplishing your goals, and transforming your negative attitude into the positive traits of the person you admire.
Rule #7: Look at your husband/wife/boyfriend/girlfriend. Tell them how beautiful they are. Tell them why you love them, and how you have seen them grow as a person since the beginning of your relationship. Try to grow with them.
Rule #8: Smile more. It's contagious. 
Okay, so the person I wrote it for is my best friends boyfriend. And yes, he is on my Facebook. He was actually the first one to comment on it. My best friend is Hannah, and her boyfriend is Les.
So, Hannah is going to school and she works. She has a one year old son and lives with Les, the father of her son. Hannah is the most grown up 20 year old I know. I wouldn't even be friends with her if she weren't, there is a 7 year age difference between us.
Les works on the rigs. He has a certain mentality about him. Me and Les previously had an understanding between us. I was the only one of Hannah's friends that he liked. I told him that I would always be on Hannah's side, but if she was wrong, I would correct her. And I do.
But, Les and Hannah are all wrong for each other right now. She is maturing, fast. He is not. They can't see eye to eye anymore.
Anyways, the above 8 rules are things that he does that he needs to change, or shit he needs to do.
Oh, and I have a 97.80% in Psychology so far. Woo Hoo!
