geezus, a fish!? 
I tell my kids to be true to themselves, this way they can true to others.
To never shy away from an opportunity or difficult challenge. Never be afraid to try something new because feel you might not succeed at it.
Make yourself heard without being obnoxious. Some of the best ideas come from the most unlikely of places.
Lastly, as others have previously mentioned, communication is key. The art of convening thoughts concisely is learned over time, God knows I’m still learning. I don’t know how many times I’ve told my kids to make a conscious effort to formulate their thoughts before opening their mouths. I think it’s starting to set in.
What sets me off, and maybe it’s because I’m a curmudgeon, is the over use of the work ‘like’. It simply drives me bonkers. I have to deal with a couple co-workers that cannot seem utter a simple phrase without say it, like, I don’t know, like, maybe like a dozen times. Sorry for the rant. 
I’d like to see a study on what happens to our brains when we do this. Almost ever person I know including myself that ends up giving a speech, presentation etc occasionally ends up slipping into a “Catch word”. Like, And Ummm and a plethora of others end up being used over and over.
When I’m doing a presentation I have to consciencely be aware of this and take steps to make sure I DON’T do this. Some people I know just do it all the time. I had a waitress the other days who’s phrase was “Sure yeah” and it finished nearly every sentence she said.
What do u meen I can’t use txt lingo? I can reed it fine, can’t u? It saves server space 2.
That’s not text lingo. You used punctuation and capitalization when appropriate.
