By considering how your words and actions affect people around you. Also take your focus off of yourself, and redirect it toward people you love. Think about what you can give to the world, instead of expecting the world at large to supply you for the rest of your life with minimal effort on your part.

1. Practice extreme self-honesty
This can be difficult, because deep down there are always things about ourselves that we don't like. Accept this, roll with it, and work on fixing the things that you don't like about yourself instead of trying to hide or bury them.
2. Don't be afraid to make mistakes
This is just how we learn. If we never do anything that we're not sure about, then we never learn what our limits are. Always push your limits, make your mistakes, learn from them, do better next time.
3. Train yourself in recognizing cognitive dissonance
Cognitive dissonance is what happens when we learn something that we don't want to hear. We try to ignore it, justify it away, or kill the messenger. If we let this continue we build up a huge wall that guards the sore spots in our life philosopy, and we tend to do hateful things to protect it.
4. Try to understand what people enjoy about everything that they enjoy.
This is the true secret to happiness. It's easy to be bored by everything and enjoy nothing. It's a challenge to enjoy everything, but that's the entire point. You don't have to actually enjoy everything, but understanding WHY others enjoy it will help you understand those people, and this is the fastest path to true empathy.

Try to give 100 percent to others. Treat others the way you would want to be treated. I feel that in giving--we receive so much in return. Give within reason--don't let people take advantage of you though.

Practice makes perfect.
But perfect practice makes perfect.
But then you must practice how to perfectly practice.
And that my friend, is going to take some practice.
Stop practicing! Be proud of who you are.
Not exactly the best advice. Just wanted to cheer you up. ; )

Well if you are very bad then you might want to be good but if you are already good and you would like to be bad because you saw stuff that bad people do and you want to be like them then be bad it all depends on you, just be the opposite of what you are!!
