Love like you'll never be hurt,
Sing like there's nobody listening,
And live like it's heaven on earth.

This life is what you make it. No matter what, you're going to
mess up sometimes, it's a universal truth. But the good part is
you get to decide how you're going to mess it up. Girls will be
your friends - they'll act like it anyway. But just remember,
some come, some go. The ones that stay with you through everything they're your true best friends. Don't let go of them. Also remember,
sisters make the best friends in the world. As for lovers, well, they'll
come and go too. And baby, I hate to say it, most of them - actually
pretty much all of them are going to break your heart, but you can't give
up because if you give up, you'll never find your soulmate. You'll never
find that half who makes you whole and that goes for everything. Just
because you fail once, doesn't mean you're gonna fail at everything.
Keep trying, hold on, and always, always, always believe in yourself,
because if you don't, then who will, sweetie? So keep your head high,
keep your chin up, and most importantly, keep smiling, because life's a
beautiful thing and there's so much to smile about.

He has achieved success who has lived well, laughed often, and loved
much;
Who has enjoyed the trust of pure women, the respect of intelligent men
and the love of little children;
Who has filled his niche and accomplished his task;
Who has never lacked appreciation of Earth's beauty or failed to express
it;
Who has left the world better than he found it,
Whether an improved poppy, a perfect poem, or a rescued soul;
Who has always looked for the best in others and given them the best he
had;
Whose life was an inspiration;
Whose memory a benediction.
