Think you're smart? Prove it.

October 23: Stop speaking poorly about friends. It's easy to say that it's only venting, or you'd say the same thing to his or her face, but honestly, what do any of us gain? Talking about the so-called flaws of others only makes our own insecurity and boredom shine brighter. And in this day and age, with the world growing and changing and new and exciting opportunities arising before our eyes, shouldn't we have better things to talk about?
So the next time you're offered the chance to say something unnecessary, fight the urge and talk...politics. We've got a big election on our hands. Plus, burning ears can't feel good.
