Five Lessons Every Kid Should Learn

1. Success requires being both lucky and smart. You can work hard to be smart and working hard typically leads to luck.

2. It truly is better to give than to receive. One of the best gifts in life is the good feeling that comes from helping someone else.

3. Do the right thing even when no one is watching.

4. Mean it when you say you're sorry. Hollow words are meaningless.

5. Don't be afraid to do what you think is right even when it's not popular. Better to be a person of conviction than someone who goes along to get along.

Maybe not your typical top five lessons to teach your kids but if my daughter can learn these lessons, I think she'll be well served and I'll be very proud.
