Giving Back
- One piece of advice I would give a young adult that I feel would most change their life would be to follow your heart and be yourself regardless of what anybody tells you. No matter what, as long as you stay true to who you know you are inside, anything is possible.
- Never give up, follow your heart and just is you.
- I would advise them that they need to follow their heart in everything they do… and never give up till the end . They need to be happy with what they do .
- One important piece of advice I would give and have been given is always follow your heart, are you, don’t try and change yourself only improve on yourself.
- In everything that you do make sure that you give your best no matter what and make sure that you follow your heart and your dreams until it all said and done
- I feel the best piece of advice I can give is to never neglect the feelings and ideas of others around you. Everyone has something to offer if they’re willing to share and you’re willing to give them a chance. And to always remember that the master of something was once a beginner.
- Always is a giver. Giving of your time, and heart to those around you. Learn to listen to their unspoken words.
- I would tell that child to always follow their heart and have ambition in life always. no matter whey never give up on their dreams keep their head up and believe in their selves stay. Positive about everything even when all is obvious is the negative find the positive in the situation.
- I would most likely tell them that to just love life. Have fun in your life. Ignore the negative comments that you get because there is always that one person that dislikes you in your life. Even though, if it really does hurt you can’t only keep it inside you. You have to tell someone that you would trust. And to never give up on what you are dreaming for of becoming because what I believe things happen for a reason. It always happens for a reason.
- One of the greatest gifts that one person can give another person is empathy. To see someone else’s point of view, to stand in their shoes and understand where they are coming from, is a key to opening up a healthier, peaceful world. People don’t take the time to try and understand the actions of another, they tend to irrationally charge ahead, only concerned for how actions have affected ‘me’. We need to take the time to understand others, to reach out and offer compassion and help if needed. We need to be charitable, to give with an open heart and help those who need it because without the love and support, this world can become hard, cold and bitter. Empathy opens up the mind and heart. Love your neighbors and they will do the same for you.
- I would give the young adult the advice to just keep happiness inside you and around you. Do what you love and makes you happy and don’t settle for anything less. I would tell them to surround themselves with positive people who genuinely care for them and will love them. Stay away from negativity!
- Strive to do your best every day and never give up on your dreams. Whatever the situation stay strong and hold you head high, never doubt yourself because the biggest demon inside could be you.
- I don’t know how this has to do with the questions that are on my mind and heart, and I’m not waiting until my death bed to give this advice . . . but the advice I’d give is for them to know that they’re worthy and to love themselves because from that place, they can better love others.
- If you have heart at doing something, then do it until your heart gives out. because once you have talent at something in your life you will have it until life itself is over. this world is a big competition so use that talent to compete not just with others but with yourself. just because someone is “better” at something then you doesn’t make you less of a person it just means that you have other things that your better at something else, so go out and discover what you’re good at.
- Have a goal in mind but always follow your heart. Even if that goal changes along the way, sometimes it will and sometime it won’t. But a goal will provide the direction and your heart will give you the experience that will make you who you are.
- Most adults are really trying to help you. Open your heart and ears up to what they are trying telling you. Gather all the facts and then, make your decisions based on all the information you have been given.
