I believe
Based on Rudyard Kipling's "If"
Be humble.
Be kind.
Be firm and outspoken.
Don't forget yourself - who you are or where you came from.
Stand strong in the face of adversity, but do not let it destroy you.
Prepare for the best but expect the worst as humanity tends towards jealousy and greed.
Never put on airs that don't become you.
Remember that friends and foes are often two sides of the same coin.
Accept the fact that some of the "demons" are often simply very misunderstood people.
Know that we all make mistakes - remember mistakes don't make the man.
Thirst at the fount of knowledge as it will always serve you, whichever circumstance you may find yourself in and whosoever's company you share.
Find joy in this wonderful, messy, memorable event that is your life. Leave a legacy that is uniquely if unlikely yours.
Hope. Cause hope raises you when you feel lost, more importantly it gets you going and doing when all else fails.
Remember, strength of character and a gentle approach often beats the brute.
