Of advice and dreams

Got this from Metrodad.
What advice do you want to pass on to your kids? What's the one life lesson that you wished someone had taught you earlier? What's the best piece of advice you ever received from your parents?
And I thought and thought and thought. Yes, I'll be eating Mowgli's head with non stop advice and stuff, but in the long run this is what i want for him.
1. Live life king size. Do whatever your heart wants to do and do it NOW. There is no other better time. The opportunity might not come again. Life will not stop and wait for you at each junction. So grab the chances NOW.
2. Play without the fear of losing. Even if this sounds clichéd, life is not about winning or losing. It’s the game that’s more important
3. Learn any musical instrument. When the going gets tough, music always helps.
4. Laugh at your mistakes and laugh at yourself.
5. Friends are friends and family is family. Some will seep from one to the other, but not all. Treat them accordingly
6. Have a hobby and nurture it over the years
7. Love this planet and do your best for it
8. Dream big. And work on your dreams. Hard work and dreams together can create magic.
9. Whatever happens know that we are always there for you. Always
10. There is a God. And there are no unanswered prayers. Sometimes the answer is just NO

Hi sher khan,

I was reading most of your posts and was thinking which one to comment on.All of them are so interesting and sweet in their own way. But I chose this one because it has so much in it than just text. I am taking this advice for myself too( if they are not patented ;).
Mowgli is very sweet and so is cocoa.
