Instructions For Life.

[I was cleaning out my drawers and found instructions for life! How lucky am I?!]


  1. Give people more than they expect and do it cheerfully.
  2. Memorize you're favorite poem.
  3. Don't believe all you hear, spend all you have, or sleep all you want.
  4. When you say, "I love you", mean it.
  5. When you say, "I'm sorry", Look the person in the eye.
  6. Be engaged at least six months before you get married.
  7. Never laugh at anyone's dreams.
  8. In disagreements, fight fairly- no name calling.
  9. Don't judge people by their relatives.
  10. Talk slowly, but think quickly.
  11. When someone asks you a question you don't want to answer, smile and ask, "why do you want to know?"
  12. Call your mom.
  13. Say "bless you" when you hear someone sneeze.
  14. When you lose, don't lose the lesson.
  15. Remember the three R's: Respect for self; Respect for others; Responsibility for all your actions.
  16. Don't let a dispute injure a great friendship.
  17. When you realize you've made a mistake, take immediate steps.
  18. Smile when picking up the phone. The caller will hear it in your voice.
  19. Marry a man/woman you love to talk to. As you get older, their conversational skills will be as important as any other.
  20. Open your arms to change, but don't let go of your values.
  21. Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer.
  22. Read more books, watch less TV.
  23. Live a good, honorable life. Then when you get older and think back, you'll get to enjoy it a second time.
  24. A loving atmosphere in your home is so important. Do all you can to create a tranquil harmonious home.
  25. In disagreements with loved ones, deal with the current situation. Don't bring up the past.

  27. Share your knowledge. It's a good way to achieve immortality.
  28. Be gentle with the earth.
  29. Never interrupt when you are being flattered. 
  30. Mind your own business.
  31. Once a year, go someplace you've never been before.
  32. If you make a lot of money, put it to use helping others while you are living. That is wealth's greatest satisfaction.
  33. Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a stroke of luck.
  34. Judge your success by what you had to give up in order to get it.
  35. Remember that your character is your destiny.
