Saw these today -- 21 rules to live by. They are all very simple but make great sense to me! ONE: Give people more than they expect and do it cheerfully. TWO: Marry a man/woman you love to talk to. As you get older, their conversational skills will be as important as any other. THREE: Don't believe all you hear, spend all you have or sleep all you want. FOUR: When you say, 'I love you,' mean it. FIVE: When you say, 'I'm sorry,' look the person in the eye. SIX: Be engaged at least six months before you get married. SEVEN: Believe in love at first sight. EIGHT: Never laugh at anyone's dream. People who don't have dreams don't have much. NINE: Love deeply and passionately. You might get hurt but it's the only way to live life completely. TEN: In disagreements, fight fairly. No name calling. ELEVEN: Don't judge people by their relatives. TWELVE: Talk slowly but think quickly. THIRTEEN: When someone asks you a question you don't want to answer, smile and ask, 'Why do you want to know?' FOURTEEN: Remember that great love and great achievements involve great risk. FIFTEEN: Say 'bless you' when you hear someone sneeze. SIXTEEN: When you lose, don't lose the lesson. SEVENTEEN: Remember the three R's: Respect for self; Respect for others; and responsibility for all your actions. EIGHTEEN: Don't let a little dispute injure a great friendship. NINETEEN: When you realize you've made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it. TWENTY: Smile when picking up the phone. The caller will hear it in your voice. TWENTY-ONE: Spend some time alone.
