- be grateful- what this means that you can not be ungrateful in life. you have to appreciate what you have in life. In order to be happy you have to apply this in your life. this will help you become a better person and a student. you can apply this by saying thank you when you are given something and also to be happy for what you have that other do not have. be thankful for what you get and be happy about it . 'I have way to many flaws to be perfect but i have way to many blessing to be ungrateful'. a example is if your parents bought you a new game for Christmas that they had to work over time for and they give you the wrong gift or games. you don't get mad at them and say why they bought you that game you say thank you and you thank them for at least thinking about you and buying you something. other kids in poorer ares would died for the stuff you get every year and some don't even have to food to eat but we have all that. but still kids still that the stuff they get for granted like if it is nothing to them and like they don't care. you should always make time for your parents so you can show them how much you really care about them and they will feel go inside and not be sad that there children isn't grateful for what they have in life. . you never want to do that because not only does it make your parents feel bad it makes you feel bad about you're self and then everyone is not happy with them self's.

"There they are, nine Be’s which, if observed, will bring handsome dividends to any young 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.

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 a train in the Midwest years ago. I looked out the window to my left. A road ran parallel to the tracks. A car with a boy and a girl was speeding down the road 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 way to Be is the way of these nine Be’s.
The years will inevitably pass, and pass quickly. Today is your day of resolution. Promise yourself to make something good of (your) precious life."
