Growing up is hard and sometimes we lose sight of what is really important. Sometimes we don't truly understand what it's like to live. We get so caught up in all of our problems that we forget to think about what's right and honorable. Unlike Harry Potter, though, we don't always have Professor Dumbledore to keep us in check. If you think you might need a little life advice, look no further. Dumbledore has got you covered.

It's important not to get so wrapped up in fantasies that we forget to live our lives. Sometimes we simply can't get what we want, but that doesn't mean there's nothing else out there for us.

The dead don't need to worry about anything. They're in a better place. The living have to endure all the suffering that comes along with life. Those who live without love don't have anyone to help them through the hard times and they're all alone making them the most pitiful of all.

Dying isn't what scares us about death. It's not knowing for sure what happens after we die that scares us.

It doesn't matter where we come from; it only matters what we grow up and do.

Don't fear death, for it's just something new we have yet to experience.

Put your mind to something and stick to it until you achieve your goal.

How much talent and ability someone has does not matter nearly as much as how someone chooses to use it.

Don't give up when things get difficult.

It's harder to tell your friends that they're wrong because you like them and you don't want to make them upset, but you usually don't care about what your enemies think of you because, chances are, they already don't like you.

(Shout-out to the United States government here.) We are strongest when we're all working together, on the same page, and not arguing amongst ourselves.

Telling the truth is always better than lying.

What we want isn't always what we need and it sometimes leads to detrimental effects. Humans have a tendency to get caught up in the wrong things like drug and alcohol abuse.

It's hard to do the right thing sometimes.
