Life's Little Instruction Book

Life's Little Instruction Book

 

• Have a firm handshake.

• Look people in the eye.

• Sing in the shower.

• Own a great stereo system.

• If in a fight, hit first and hit hard.

• Keep secrets.

• Never give up on anybody. Miracle happen everyday.

• Always accept an outstretched hand.

• Be brave. Even if you're not, pretend to be. No one can tell the difference.

• Avoid sarcastic remarks.

• Choose your life's mate carefully. From this one decision will come 90 per cent of all your happiness or misery.

• Make it a habit to do nice things for people who will never find out.

• Lend only those books you never care to see again.

• Never deprive someone of hope; it might be all that they have.

• When playing games with children, let them win.

• Give people a second chance, but not a third.

• Become the most positive and enthusiastic person you know.

• Loosen up. Relax. Except for rare life-and-death matters, nothing is as important as it first seems.

• Don't allow the phone to interrupt important moments. It's there for your convenience, not the caller's.

• Be a good loser. Be a good winner.

• Think twice before burdening a friend with a secret.

• When someone hugs you, let them be the first to let go.

• Keep it simple. Be modest. A lot was accomplished before you were born.

• Beware of the person who has nothing to lose.

• Don't burn bridges. You'll be surprised how many times you have to cross the same river.

• Live your life so that your epitaph could read, No Regrets.

• Be bold and courageous. When you look back on life, you'll regret the things you didn't do more than the one's you did.

• Never waste an opportunity to tell someone you love them.

• Remember no one makes it alone. Have a grateful heart and be quick to acknowledge those who helped you.

• Take charge of your attitude. Don't let someone else choose it for you.

• Visit friends and relatives when they are in hospital; you need only stay a few minutes.

• Begin each day with some of your favourite music.

• Once in a while, take the scenic route.

• Send a lot of Valentine cards. Sign them, 'Someone who thinks you're terrific.'

• Answer the phone with enthusiasm and energy in your voice.

• Keep a note pad and pencil on your bed-side table. Million-dollar ideas sometimes strike at 3 a.m.

• Show respect for everyone who works for a living, regardless of how trivial their job is.

• Send your loved ones flowers. Think of a reason later.

• Make someone's day by paying the toll for the person in the car behind you. (KH: I would love to find one every time on a toll gate :-))

• Become someone's hero.

• Count your blessings.

• Compliment the meal when you're a guest in someone's home.

• Wave at the children on a school bus.

• Remember that 80 per cent of the success in any job is based on our ability to deal with people.

• Don't expect life to be fair.
