  1. Stand up straight.
  2. Know how to change a tire, but whenever possible, let a man to do it for you.
  3. Your physical appearance matters. That’s the world we live in, and it’s also how we’re wired.
  4. Inner beauty — intelligence, personality, confidence, and a sense of humor — becomes more important as you get older. Wits never sag.
  5. Know that you are more beautiful than you will ever give yourself credit for.
  6. It’s my job to keep you safe. That’s why it’s also my job to teach you how to use a gun.
  7. Take good care of your skin.
  8. Don’t worry about dieting. Eat healthy, exercise, drink in moderation, and everything will fall into place.
  9. Gender is not a social construct. Embrace the differences between men and women.
  10. Read more. It allows you to borrow someone else’s brain.
  11. It’s safe to assume that almost every guy you meet wants to sleep with you.
  12. If anyone says its okay to be fat, they’re lying to you.
  13. Let him pay for dinner most of the time.
  14. Just because you can fit into that tiny dress doesn’t mean you should wear it.
  15. Don’t sleep around.
  16. Play sports. You’ll probably run, throw, and fight like a girl, but that’s magnificent.
  17. Money is important. It won’t make you happy, but it solves many of the problems that will make you unhappy.
  18. You will most likely regret getting a tattoo.
  19. If you are blessed with the gift of being able to create and shape a life, embrace it. You’ll probably find it more rewarding than any career, but you can still have both.
  20. You have all the power over boys. Let them cherish and revere you.
  21. Ignoor the boos, they usually come from the cheap seats.
  22. Don’t try to party like one of the guys. You don’t metabolize alcohol at the same rate, and that’s how bad things can happen.
  23. Success is doing whatever it is that you love, and doing it well. But… (See #17)
  24. Just because your brother might go on spring break with his friends doesn’t mean you can. (See #6, #9, #11, #22)
  25. Finally, remember that rules are for the obedience of fools and the guidance of a smart, strong woman.

If knocked to tje ground, hammer fist, or rock to the side of the temple will either distract or stop the aggressor long enough to counter or escape the guard.

The revolver in our planned spot is ready, get to and keep your finger off the trigger until your have your front site on the threat.

Sit in a restaurant with your back to the wall and know two or more exits, tell your siblings to get down when the gunfire erupts and move away or
Attack if within arms reach.

Hands on the steering wheel, interior light on when the Officer in a marked car pulls you over, drive to a lighted area or call 911 if you don’t think it’s a real Cop.

Do not hold on to a lit firework should make the failed mistake to light one.

Know exits
Anywhere you spend the night , anywhere.

Go after your dreams jump in with both feet not one. Doing what you love to do in work is like not working a day in your life
