Helping Hand

"The first to help you are the ones who know how it feels to fall down"

You should never kick someone when they're down. Be a good friend or co-worker and listen to what's bothering them, that might be all they need. There's not a better feeling than helping someone out. You never need a reason to help someone out.

Afraid of Criticism?

"To avoid criticism, say nothing, do nothing, be nothing"

Have you sat in a meeting had a great suggestion but said nothing? Have you ever wanted to ask a question but didn't because you were afraid? One of our fears is looking or saying something stupid, but in reality the only person that looks this way is the one who criticizes you. If someone does criticize you DON'T TAKE IT PERSONALLY. Your suggestion might not be exactly what they're looking for, but could be a starting point.

Have Your Dreams Changed?

"You are never too old to set another goal or dream a new dream"

Age is just a number. You should always be evaluating your life, health, goals and dreams. Adjusting these is a reflection of our ability to adapt to the world around us. Change is not a bad thing, as things rarely stay the same throughout our lives. Live your life to the fullest.

Tone Deaf

"Sometimes it’s not what you say, but how you say it"

Your intentions might be in the right place, but if your tone isn't people will be put off. Wait for the person to finish talking and then respond. Don't respond in a "know it all" or "smart-ass" tone, be sincere. Be sincere when giving advice and humble when receiving it.
