• Turn the volume down when you're watching video, playing music or playing a game on your phone in a public place or, better yet, use headphones.

• When someone else cooks for you, offer to help clean the kitchen.

• If you stay the night at someone's house, make the bed or fold the blankets when you leave.

• Don't feel too big to be corrected or reject good advice because you feel it's your life... Life is a ring; the next blow can come anytime.

Don't stop learning!
