• Remember that we have been created in order to live and serve God our Creator and that all learning and wealth in this world amount to nothing without the fear of God on which our temporal and eternal welfare depends.
• Give glory to God for whatever learning you have for He is the Author of every good. Do not glory in your own ability.
• Give yourself to the practice of the virtue while you are young. The virtues to be cultivated most are modesty (purity), humility, obedience and kindness.
• By modesty is meant a proper and decent manner of speaking and acting. This virtue is one of the best ornaments of your age.
• Avoid any kind of sin, especially three evils which should be particularly avoided are:
• the taking of the name of God in vain;
• impurity in thought, word and deed; and
• stealing.

These evils draw God’s anger upon us. But if we keep these evils far away from us, God will never fail us with His blessings.
