THINGS WE NEED TO DO AS YOUTH Part 2 - Agnes Ama Afful


  1. Respect yourself: When you respect others it will be easy for them to respect you as well. Respect is also earned and reciprocal when you respect people they will respect you back and if you behave well with others you might just earn their respect.

 

  1. Be grateful: A little gratitude goes a long way when it is genuine. We should be grateful when something is done for or given to us no matter how small it is. After all it’s the thought that counts.

 

  1. Have good friends: Most of us learnt this the hard way. You can’t just go around making friends with everyone you talk to, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be nice and treat them with respect. Having good friends ensures you are able to attain your goals and your values are still being kept. So get friends who will support your dreams and make sure they also have the same values.

 

  1. Enjoy the little things in life: We want to get things done so quickly that we forget about the little things. Relax, take a step back, put your phone down and enjoy nature. Take a walk, talk to someone, laugh, go to the beach and watch the waves, feel the sand between your feet. All these little things could brighten your day and lift your mood.
