Life Lessons

~ Give people more than they expect and do it cheerfully.

~ Marry someone you love to talk to. As you get older, their conversational skills will be as important as any other.

~ 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 dream. People who don't have dreams don't have much.

~ Love deeply and passionately. You might get hurt but it's the 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.

~ 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; and 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.

~ Spend some time alone.
