Routines.

The recent study "Household Routines and Obesity in U.S. Preschool-Aged Children" by Sarah E. Anderson, PhD, and Robert Whitaker, MD, found that kids as young as four already have a lower risk for obesity if they had three basic routines in their life:

 Family Dinner

 Adequate Sleep

Limited Weekday TV Viewing

I quite agree! 

Dignity.

"There is no dignity quite so impressive, and no independence so important, as living within your means.” –CALVIN COOLIDGE
