Thomas Jefferson's 10 Rules of Life






  1. Never put off till tomorrow what you can do to-day.
  2. Never trouble another for what you can do yourself.
  3. Never spend your money before you have it.
  4. Never buy what you do not want, because it is cheap; it will be dear to you.
  5. Pride costs us more than hunger, thirst and cold.
  6. We never repent of having eaten too little.
  7. Nothing is troublesome that we do willingly.
  8. How much pain have cost us the evils which have never happened!
  9. Take things always by their smooth handle.
  10. When angry, count ten, before you speak; if very angry, an hundred.

New Year's Resolutions for 2017






1. Live in the moment. Live life to the fullest.

 Why am I worrying about things way ahead of me when thing that are right infront of me aren't even taken care of. I realize that I don't have to worry about a "possible" problem that might or might not happen. Seriously. Who even has time for that. I'm confidant that I can handle it when the situation rises.



2. Be on time

 Once late, always late. I remeber I got rewarded for not being late anymore for the rest of my third grade from my teacher. Why make people wait for me? Their time is as much as valuable as mine. Plus, it's a way better feeling when you're early and have time to actually settle down. 


3. Going plant based (vegan).

 Well I already am, technically. But I've never really been strict with it. For example, I had baskin robins yesterday. And of course I felt so sick afterwards. If only they sold vegan icecream! This wouldn't be a problem. And turns out I don't really miss cheese as much as I thought I would. Interesting. 



*will continuously update the list.
