I mean, I'm still young and I have a sibling that is even younger than me. I want to give him advice, but I can't necessarily give him any good tips besides, "Think before you speak, Knock before opening a door, and make sure you worry about yourself before others..." Also, everyone, will you please only post 5 tips at most? And, thank you for choosing my question.

I think how you live your life will speak volume to your younger sibling. Above all, I think being there for your younger sibling and having a good mentor yourself will help you and your sibling navigate wisely through life. Here are some tips that has helped me make wise choices:
1. Whatever is worth having is worth working for.
2. Keep your friends close but keep your enemies closer.
3. As far as possible without surrender be at peace with all men.
4. The most you can give is your best. After giving your best, there is nothing left to give.
5. An unexamined life is not worth living.

Great question!
When the time comes for you to date or have a relationship, be classy and respectful of others' time and feelings. It's easy to be nice and friendly when you LIKE someone, but it's just as important to be kind when you DON'T like them.
If someone asks you for a date, and you don't want to go, appreciate the gesture, respect that they had the courage to act on their feelings, thank them, and gently (but firmly) say no.
If you go on the date, whether you had a good time or not, thank the person for the opportunity to get know them better (you may not like what you got to know, but all the same, you learned something new, and that's worth some gratitude).
When you break up with someone, be polite, compassionate, and above all, be clear about your feelings (don't give hope where there is none).
When you're broken up with, keep your dignity, don't whine, and be respectful of the decision that the other person has made.

First tip is to always be prepared for the unexpected - because life will constantly throw huge obstacles in your path and you have to either beat them or get run over by them.
Second tip - when people talk in terms of hate, just ignore that bull.
Third tip - trust yourself. that's the one that takes the longest to happen because you're constantly proving you to yourself, testing yourself and constantly learning.
Fourth - when people say how bad the world is? Forget it, the world isn't bad at all - it's just some of the people who prowl the earth's surface who are lousy. The world is still beautiful!
Fifth - never put all of your money in one place. I've been flat broke, I've slept in my car, I've had to restart my life from scratch, I've been on welfare for a help up while looking for work. Learn to love to live frugally and enjoy being humble about it!
Sixth - when your woman starts showing the signs that she's not interested in you anymore, that's a bad signal. Divorce her sorry @$$ as soon as possible because if you don't then she'll take every possible advantage over you and make your life a living hell!

HI,
Look and you will find. What is unsought will go undetected. In other words whatever you want in life, make an effort to achieve that goal. Take the initiative.
Our deeds and motives determine us as much as we determine our deeds. You’re being a loving and conscientious brother; this says a lot about you.
Seeing yourself as you want to be is the key to personal growth and fulfilment.
I like the idea of: we are each of us angels with only one wing and we can only fly by embracing one another.
Finally: never take on so much and have your life so cluttered that you don’t get the chance every now and again to look up and see the stars.

Well, number three, "Make sure you worry about yourself before others." is really bad advice...Sure, you want to look out for yourself but in order to get anywhere in life, in order to make friends and even good business connections then you need to put others first. When people know you care about them they will be the same towards you. Looking out for number one is the American way, but look how we've become. A nation of self-centered individuals who basically care only for themselves. Look at any 'good' businesses, (good not meaning just money makers, but good reputations) they will have a policy of putting their customers and business contacts first. Teach your sibling to serve others unselfishly, it will be the best lesson he'll ever learn...

Ok, 3 tips to give your little brother:
Treat others as you would wish to be treated
Its one thing to hear someone talking, its another to be LISTENING to them
The eyes are the windows to the soul, so always tell the truth and be open because what goes around, comes around.
These were good for me from my older cousin (I have not older brothers or sisters and he was the closest other relative that is older than me!)
