Stand Up And Speak Up

If you want to be seen. .... Stand up

If you want to be heard... Speak up

If you want to be appreciated..... Shut up

If you have done incredible things or good things for people, let the people speak of your own achievements or good works other than yourself. It stays in their memory for life.

Speak about issues that affect you and others. Do not sit down in silence or watch unconcerned and wait till things go wrong before you decide to speak up or act.

Or better still say to yourself....no, that's not my problem. That's their problem. I can't be any part of that problem. I'm just going to sit and watch or mind my own business. If the problem is that for all the community or family to solve and you sit idle or act unconcerned without helping them out, that problem will come back and haunt you again and again. So speak up and help!

Do not speak evil of others or allow others to talk evil about others to you. Today it may seem fun to do something bad to others. Don't forget, tomorrow it will be your turn to face the same music.

For that's how the rules of life works, which is, there is no action without consequences.

What you reap today, you shall sow tomorrow.

Do not hold back on helping others, when you have the means to. If you feel that for any other reason, you cannot help or support them, tell them the truth (I can't help you).

Do not give false hope to make them feel or hope you can help them, and disappoint them at the last minute. It is a dishonourable thing to do.

Stand up and fight for things you believe in.

Things that are very important to you.

Do not sit idle and let others decide for you concerning your own life. Have your own opinion, not the opinion of others.

Do not be a coward to say No sometimes to certain things or some requests.

You will be on your way to living the life that you want.
