INSTRUCTIONS
FOR LIFE
|
Give
people more than they expect and do it cheerfully. Memorize your
favorite poem.
Don't believe all you hear,
spend all you
have or sleep all you want. When you say, "I love you",
mean it. When you say, "I'm sorry", look the person in
the eye. Be engaged at least six months before you get married.
Believe in love at first sight.
Never laugh at anyone's
dreams. Love deeply and passionately.
You might get hurt but
its only way to live life completely.
In disagreements, fight
fairly.
No name-calling. Don't judge people by their
relatives.
Talk slowly but think quickly.
When someone
asks you a question you don't want to answer, smile and ask,
"Why
do you want to know?" Remember that great love and great
achievements involve great risk. Call your mom.
Say
"bless you" when you hear someone sneeze. When you lose,
don't lose the lesson.
Remember the three R's:
Respect for
self;
Respect for others;
Responsibility for all your
actions.
Don't let a little dispute injure a great
friendship.
When you realize you've made a mistake,
take
immediate steps to correct it.
Smile when picking up the phone.
The caller will hear it in your voice.
Marry a man/woman
you
love to talk to.
As you get older,
their conversational
skills will be as important as any other.
Spend some time
alone.
Open your arms to change but don't let go of your
values. Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer.
Read
more books
and watch less TV.
Live a good, honorable life.
Then when you get older and think back,
you'll get to
enjoy it a second
time.
Trust in God but lock your car.
A loving atmosphere
in your home is so important. Do all you can to create a tranquil
harmonious home.
In disagreements with loved ones, deal with
the current situation. Don't bring up the past.
Read between
the lines.
Share your knowledge.
It's a way to achieve
immortality. Be gentle with the earth. Pray. There's immeasurable
power in it.
Never interrupt when you are being
flattered.
Mind your own business.
Once a year, go
someplace you've never been before.
If you make a lot of money,
put it to use helping others while you are living.
That is
wealth's greatest satisfaction.
Remember that not getting what
you want is sometimes a stroke of luck.
Learn the rules then
break some. Remember that the best relationship is one where your
love for each other is greater than your need for each other.
Judge your success by what you had to give up in order to get
it.
Remember that your character is your destiny.
Approach
love and cooking with reckless abandon.
