1. Respect for parents
Any parent no matter if they are rich or poor want their children to have the best and they would go to any extent, undergo any sacrifice to ensure that their children don't miss out on anything. As a child I was aware of the sacrifices my parents made for me. But being a mother has given me a whole new perspective. So my dear daughter, no matter where life takes you just remember that there are two people who love you unconditionally no matter what. In return all they ask for is you to remember them and respect them.

2. Focus on Education
I cannot emphasize how important education is. I know many people cite Sachin Tendulkar's example to make a point that a degree is not necessary in order to be successful. But that is just a one off instance. Without a proper education you are nobody in this world. Education gives you the financial independence to face the world with self confidence.
3. Marry wisely but don't expect your marriage to be a fairy-tale
Never marry for looks or money or simply due to peer pressure. Marry the person who will be the rock in your life, who will stay with you in difficult times. Don't go around looking for your tall dark and handsome prince charming. Rather marry the person you can share your golden years with.
Marriage is not all rosy contrary to what you see on TV. Unlike the happily ever after ending, the real challenges kick in after you get married. There are adjustments, misunderstandings etc which may lead to fights and but don't let your ego get in the way of love.
4. Count your blessings
Life is a race and the moment you get what you want there will be more goals in front of you. Better job, higher salary, bigger house, bigger car the list is endless. Its only human to want something better in life but don't let this quest ruin the journey. Just take a pause sometimes and be grateful for what you have. Think of the less fortunate ones who don't have what you do and would gladly trade places with you.
5. Eat healthy and exercise
Though you may not realize the importance of this at a young age, I cannot stress how important it is to eat healthy food. You may give yourself the occasional treat of junk food but don't make it a way of life. A healthy lifestyle will go a long way in keeping sickness at bay. Plus staying fit makes you feel good about yourself.
