10 words to inspire a generation.
November 25, 2009 | 119 Comments
I want to create a talky blog/youtube video on this topic: 10 words to inspire a generation.
If you had only ten words (or less) to communicate a message that would inspire and/or transform the next generation of earthlings, what would you say? That’s it – just 10 words!
Leave your answer in the comments. If it gives me goosebumps, I may include it in the youtube video! Blow my socks off!

















treat others the way you want them to treat you
I have none. Life is your own. Live it out.
Understand that everyone is different than yourself. Break down barriers.
Please, Thank You, I’m Sorry, Forgive Me, I Love You
Don’t expect “good” things to occur, create them in life.
Liofe aklil akenda be liofeda. Kemfo hifoe. Quelil tie dakrakekenses.
Live today by using the past to construct the future
David, I don’t know if it is correct in English :
Nowhere you will find a better world to live in!
bye,
Going to war, to prevent war, was the most stupid thing I’ve ever heard
Treat others well to be treated well; enjoin each other.
Seek first to be understood then understand. Love yourself more.
-Smile at everyone
-Participate in creation
-Enjoy being
-No hitting
Who you are is all you have. Know it. Well.
No, I am not cruel… I am there to guide you!
Be.
love, actually is all around. =)
Life is all about what you have for the world.
Love our world because our being is worth loving.

Wise words from an Englishman.. Umm.. Englishboy. =]
Loooooovvee you all.
My top 6… (not exactly 10)
1. Fearless 2. Passion 3. Chance 4. Love 5. Kindness 6. Truth.
In life we let too many of our fears restrain our actions. Fear is an obstacle that we need to overcome.
We need passion to become who we want to be and passion in our relationships.
We have to take chances, not settle with what we are handed in life, take chances and make it happen.
Love in our relationships and our family. It’s the same thing in every country.
It doesn’t cost anything to be kind. It’s free. Everybody should have a little kindness.
And truth. To be true to ourselves and the people around us.
Don’t listen to everyone else- create your own, unique life.
BE TRUE TO YOUR OWN HEART AND ALL ELSE FOLLOWS
1. Optimism
2. Love
3. Adventures
4. Choice
5. Humor
6. Respect
7. Truth
8. Contemplation
9. Create
10. Participate
Is this inspired by Ho’oponopono? because those are almost the exact words, except a differetn order. cool =]
Both are correct.
What you put out you get back and then some!
You cannot change the past, but you can ruin the present by worrying about the future.
Simplicity with meaning. Love it! kudos <3
Love without reservation, live without regret, and forgive without cause.
There is only love. Breath it deeply and let go!
There exists only the here and now. Live life now!
Speak less, listen more, be thoughtful, then act wisely.
This is not my quote but if I had to choose 10 words to inspire people they would be these:
“Be bold and mighty forces will come to your aid.”
^ I like this!
dream it, feel it, be it, live it, with love
love yourself, for you are everything and everything is you

Davey Wavey,
Here are my ten words sorry it is a few extra:
Never let it rest till you good is better and your better is best!
for a second, i thought you had typed toothpaste somewhere, and i was about to love you for that. but it seems that i have just imagined that. so, nevermind…
its all up to one’s own interpretation
Awesome Response ! ! !
life is easy when you make the rules
Love the life we live; live the dream we love.
Relax. Everything is going to be alright.
Best: never to have been born. Next best: die quickly.
No one can make you. Only you can make yourself.
Believe & Smile… Siempre Sonrie!!!
Make mistakes. You’ll find out later they were actually miracles.
Be kind, generous, and forgiving.
Wake to the life you make, and make it awake.
“There is no road to peace; peace is the road”
– Gandhiji
A simple recipe for life:
All you need is love. Give it. Receive it.
Hear Davey Wavey
Be a blog buddy
Rest your case
Mindfulness and compassion can be the key to living.
Amen to that.
Be and Peace x 10.that is all.
Ah — a biblical reference. Ecclesiastes 4, verses 2 and 3. Evidently God (and Solomon and I) agree with you.
If you believe that humans place meaning on all things and that those meanings can cause us to suffer, then you will understand this more deeply than any words can ever say. The true meaning and significance of life and everything that you know is in the space after this period —>.
Be all that you can be, laugh, learn, love, LIVE!
Life is short. Live, love, laugh and be happy always.
Pay attention — to what you say and what you hear. A conversation is not waiting for your turn to speak. Ask questions. When a friend is in distress ask what he/she wants to happen. Paying attention is about bringing quality to your life in every situation. It’s being alive. Share it.
Life is too important to be taken seriously.
“Golf and alcohol don’t mix so don’t drink and drive.”
Or
“Open minds, open eyes, open hearts, open hands, open mouths.”

Laugh. Dance. Live.
(Laugh: Being happy is really important.
Dance: This reminds me of Lady GaGa’s Just Dance, basically, no matter what happens, Just Dance, go along with it, you can’t control what happens to you but you can control how you react to it
Live: To live your life as how you want it to be, you are the pilot of your own life)
Give back, Take nothing, and Live within your means!
Avoiding lust,gluttony,greed,sloth,wrath,envy,and pride=peace.
My 10 words are listed bellow please include Jiggles in your youtube video it will make my day.
Baby fat, warm ancient hands, stranger’s smile and Nature’s keeper
Chow from the softest warmest lil ball of love in the world.
Yours Truly,

When you trip, just leap. When you fall, just slide.
When you trip, just leap. When you fall, just slide.
Great blog by the way. I’ve read it before, but haven’t ever caught on to the addictive blogging world yet. Maybe someday.
Honor…
“To live content with small means;
to seek elegance rather than luxury,
and refinement rather than fashion;
to be worthy, not respectable,
and wealthy, not rich;
to listen to stars and birds,
babes and sages with open heart;
to study hard; to think quietly,
act frankly, talk gently,
await occasions, hurry never;
in a word,
to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious,
grow up through the common -
this is my symphony.
William Henry Channing
Be the Change You want to see in the World!
It’s actually only 9, but this is how i live my life:
“Openness and understanding are the foundation for better relationships…” with yourself AND others.
Loving and giving are the reasons why you are here.
Relax. Breathe deeply. Be kind to others. They’re just afraid.
Life…it’s tragic, sad, funny, and good…Just live it!
Create your journey,in this moment, you make a difference!
Make your motto “Others”
don’t ask others for inspiration, BE the inspiration.
“the greatest thing you’ll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return”
i know it’s 15 words but I love this quote!
otherwise:
you don’t need ten words to learn about love
take a deep breath, smile and enjoy every step.
“Imagination is more important than knowledge.”
These are not my words but a Quote from Albert Einstein. Without imagination there is no future.
-Full Quote-
“Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand.” -A.E.
I think this is actually a quotation of Oscar Wilde.
With Open Minds and
peaceful Intentions, Beauty
Loves All Becoming.
~~I thought I’d add an extra dimension (or two or three) to my submission. The 10 words form a haiku poem.~~
Anyone can achieve their fullest potential. Who we are may be pre-determined, but who we follow is always of our own choosing. We should never allow our fears, or the expectations of others, to set the frontiers of our own destiny. Your destiny can not be changed, but can be challenged. Every man is born as many others, but die as only one.
But above all…
“Be yourself! Everyone else is taken…”
lead yourself by yourself, if you can’t – maybe nobody can!
Given ten words for my generation, only “love” seems important.
Lust and Love, Body and Soal, Realism and Optimisin. Life: You Figure it out
When the day is done never forget who you are.
Believe in something Greater than yourself!

I’d rather not put even more criticism in this thread, but honestly why are you arguing over cannot? Isn’t the most blazingly incorrect use of language the misspelling of “lose”? (at least in this context)
Is this like a scrambled or chopped or … jinxed message? So confused! >:P
Never give up.
the advice of 10 is worthwhile if it helps 1.
Stop searching for happiness, feel it.
Love Yourselves
(we’re all one universal self – loving you is loving your neighbour. Loving your neighbour is loving the spirit, and loving the spirit is loving the spirit within yourselves)
hi, i just want to thank you for this post, i really like your blog, thanks and more power.
