Don't make "money" the focus of your life, but find something that is meaningful and that you look forward to doing every day.

Money won't make you happy, but being content with your life will.

Enjoy learning from your mistakes... Some of the best learning comes from failing. Or, in baseball terms, you have to swing at some pitches to hit the ball.

As a therapist, the other important lesson to learn: Learn how to communicate clearly. So many problems occur when the receiver of information doesn't get what the sender is... sending.

Live for yourself, not for other people.

If I could choose two lessons, the second one would be that you should never be afraid to ask questions - ignorance is anything but bliss.

Your happiness and the happiness of those you love is the most important thing in the world. It is a state of mind that is more independent from the circumstances around us than most people realize. It is a choice independent of your circumstances! The only happy people are those who have chosen to be happy!

The importance of being knowledgeable and wise especially in making decisions. Every single day and almost every minute, we may not be aware that we make decisions. How our day will turn out would be based on the constant decision making we do. Eventually, our life's goals (short and long term) will be achieved (or not ) depending on the decisions we made in the past.

If there's a 2nd lesson I want to teach my child: Learn from your mistakes. Nobody's perfect and everybody makes them. All successful men/women had dealt with some type of failure in the past.

The lesson I would teach would be:
Never stop asking "why?", because the moment you "grow out" of asking "why", is the moment you stop thinking for yourself, and begin memorizing the thoughts of lesser men/women.

THINK
just think about what you are doing, saying

people seem to be so impulsive--not thinking about how their actions affect themselves or others-they just want to feel good quick...
doctors can't think beyond the textbook-if teh book doesn't tell them what to do--they are clueless......

in my area it seems most people have teh implulse to mistreat others-theya re out for themsleves and don't care how much damage they do

Really cool question. I'm not a parent, but if I had children and someone asked me this, I would say the best lesson I would want to teach my child would be:

be kind and honest, specially if life seems to not reward you for it.

Don't waste your time on sites like Mahalo. Sure, I've made M$24 in 2 days. But, that works out to like $2 an hour, if I can even get to 40 Mahalo dollars and cash them in. Right now, it's 11PM, and I'm still sitting here addicted to answering stupid questions.

To make it generic, then I'd say - Focus on the things that really matter in life, because wasting your moments on stuff that doesn't matter is a shame.

To laugh every single day. I take this from Jimmy Valvano, but it's how I try to live my life everyday as a 23 year old. Laugh every single day.

"There are three things you should do every day: laugh, cry, and think." - Check out his ESPY speech on YouTube, one of the greatest speeches I have every heard.

To my future children: I will try to show how not to despise/hate or admire/love to easily as human interaction is a complex and constant confrontation of different energy that came from a different set of stories that each individual has, including them. I’ll tell them that they will be hurt but won’t hurt in return as life in a city full of man and woman or life in the nature can bring them so much more happiness than hatred towards our own.

To value their time and enjoy their childhood. I see too many kids worrying about things and trying to become adults too quick in life. Conversely They need to remember that as adults they need to keep the mind of a child in the fact they need to keep playing and open to new ideas.
