# And in the starring role ... YOU!

Many teenagers dream of becoming a star. You may well ask, a star at what? What you need to dream of is to become a star in your own life. What does it take to be a star in your own life? Here are 5 secrets to being a star.

### Be true to yourself

You need to be true to yourself. Do not pretend to be something that you are not. If you are truthful about who you are, you get to like yourself and that way others will also like you.

### Go for it!

Show initiative. Do not wait for things to happen to you, rather seek actively what you want to happen.

### Be considerate

Other people are important. Don’t think only of yourself, consider all the other people with whom you share the world.

### Be kind!

Be kind to other people and be especially kind to yourself. If you have to choose between clever and kind, choose kind, it lasts much longer!

### Do your best

Do everything to the very best of your ability. DO NOT ever give up, but rather try and try again. Do remember, however, that nobody can do absolutely everything. We all have our strong points that we need to develop.
