2. Be smart To be smart is smart. you never know what life has in your way and your gonna need to think your way out in or out of a situation. sometime its the brains that win the war not the muscle. see smarts will help you in the long run while muscles help in the short. when you are smart you'll be wealthy you land a good career and be happy. for example a guy who was popular in school is now the janitor making minimum wage while your up there running a billion dollar corporation and he'll wish he was different back in high school.but don't take it from me    THE PEN IS MIGHTIER THAN THE SWORD

...it is not to be understood that I am with him 

[Jesus] in all his doctrines. I am a Materialist, he 

takes the side of spiritualism; he preaches the 

efficacy of repentance toward forgiveness of sin. I 

require a counterpoise of good works to redeem it... 

Among the sayings & discourses imputed to him by 

his biographers, I find many passages of fine 

imagination, correct morality, and of the most 

lovely benevolence: and others again of so much 

ignorance, so much absurdity, so much untruth, 

charlatanism, and imposture, as to pronounce it 

impossible that such contradictions should have 

proceeded from the same being.

[Letter to William Short, 13 April 1820]” 

― Thomas Jefferson, Letters of Thomas Jefferson

4. Be clean 

To be clean is very important because it healthy and sanitary. but not just physically clean also mentally clean see you have to have a clean mind with positive stuff and willed with good behaviors. you don't want a dirty mind thinking about bad stuff and be negative about stuff. then for being clean can give a long life.


“...it will be a world made not bright but 

brighter, not clean but cleaner.” 

― Dean Koontz, Dead and Alive
5. Be true 
To be true is saying to be honest with yourself and to be honest with others. also to be true will make a great impact to life no will ever think your a lair or a cheater because you tell the truth. i leaned that the hard way i used to lie and cheat but then my parents stopped trusting me and that was hard so i shaped up now i hardly lie and i don't cheat. if the people who lie and cheat now in the end you'll die alone. 

 Be true to yourself, help others, make each day your masterpiece, make friendship a fine art, drink deeply from good books - especially the Bible, build a shelter against a rainy day, give thanks for your blessings and pray for guidance every day. John Wooden

6. Be positive 

 its great to be positive because if your positive you can accomplish anything you put your mind to because you believe you could do it and you said you could so you did. you would be surprised about how many people who aren't positive and the only think about the negative. Therese nothing wrong to think about the negative outcome of what could happen to you crossing the street or if you go to this place but is you think nothing of what you can happen your going to fail in your life because you thinking of the bad out what could happen if, but to think what if i do this and accomplish it that will change your life. and that's how your suppose to think or you'll jinks yourself   

"Work hard for what you want because it won't come to you without a fight. You have to be strong and courageous and know that you can do anything you put your mind to. If somebody puts you down or criticizes you, just keep on believing in yourself and turn it into something positive. Leah La Belle"

7. Be humble

"There they are, nine Be's which, if observed, will bring handsome dividends to any man or woman. They will add sparkle to your days and peace to your nights. They will save you from heartache and pain. They will bring purpose into your life and give direction to your energies. 

   They will bring you friends of your own kind. They will protect you from associations that would pull you down and deflect you from your course.

   This is time to be happy. This is a time to feel joy and make friends and enjoy the best this life has to offer. What i tried to put forth ... are simply a few suggestions, gained from many years of living, to help you do just that. The world will tell that certain kinds of things will bring you happiness-things such as popularity and possessions and satisfying your brasher desires. 

   If today you find yourself only drifting as a leaf in a stream, get hold of yourself and determine you will do better.

   At railroad grade crossing, signs of warning were once common. Two cross arms were emblazoned with the words, "Stop, Look, Listen." They meant that a train could be roaring down the tracks and you had better be alert.

   I was riding in the Midwest years ago. I looked out the window to my left. A road ran parallel to the tracks. A little faster than the train. The car moved ahead until I can no longer see it. Suddenly, the locomotive whistle sounded and the train screeched to a halt as the brakes gripped the wheels. We looked out the window on to the other side. There was a mangled car. Police cars soon converged, followed by the ambulance. The boy and girl were both dead. The road they were traveling crossed the tracks. They did not stop, look, or listen. It all happened in an instant.

The better wat to Be is the way of these nine Be's. 

The years will inevitably pass, amd pass quickly, Today is your day of resolution. Promise yourself to make something good of (your) precious life."
