My son, preserve sound judgment and discernment.
—Proverbs 3:21
A few more lessons I learned from my dad.
I learned that . . .
I shouldn’t let the attitudes and actions of others govern my behavior.
My best friend is the one who brings out the best in me.
The heaviest thing I can carry is a grudge.
The person who angers me controls me.
The only people I should try to get even with are those who have helped me.
If I will put myself in another person’s place, I will be less likely to want to put them in their place.
Judging others is not my right.
I should think all I speak, but shouldn’t speak all I think.
I don’t have to explain something I haven’t said.
You will become what you think about.
