[Cuauhtémoc1520]

Muchas gracias amigos. Life can be very good when you change your mind and spirit about things.

[Patty Tanager]

Why can't we all be brought up on this, instead of the bible, the qu'ran and so on?. Think how better the planet would be.

Life's Instructions

1. Have a firm handshake.
2. Look people in the eye.
3. Sing in the shower.
4. Own a great stereo system.
5. If in a fight, hit first and hit hard.
6. Keep secrets.
7. Never give up on anybody. Miracles happen everyday.
8. Always accept an outstretched hand.
9. Be brave. Even if you're not, pretend to be. No one can tell the difference.
10. Whistle.
11. Avoid sarcastic remarks.
12. Choose your life's mate carefully. From this one decision will come 90 per cent of all your happiness or misery.
13. Make it a habit to do nice things for people who will never find out.
14. Lend only those books you never care to see again.
15. Never deprive someone of hope; it might be all that they have.
16. When playing games with children, let them win.
17. Give people a second chance, but not a third.
18. Be romantic.
19. Be the most positive person you know.
20. Loosen up. Relax. Except for rare life-and-death matters, nothing is as important as it first seems.
21. Don't allow the phone to interrupt important moments. It's there for our convenience, not the caller's.
22. Be a good loser.
23. Be a good winner.
24. Think twice before burdening a friend with a secret.
25. When someone hugs you, let them be the first to let go.
26. Be modest. A lot was accomplished before you were born.
27. Keep life simple.
28. Beware of the person who has nothing to lose.
29. Don't burn bridges. You'll be surprised how many times you have to cross the same river.
30. Live your life so that your epitaph could read, No Regrets
31. 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.32. Never waste an opportunity to tell someone you love them.
33. Remember no one makes it alone. Have a grateful heart and be quick to acknowledge those who helped you.
34. Take charge of your attitude. Don't let someone else choose it for you.
35. Visit friends and relatives when they are in hospital; you need only stay a few minutes.
36. Begin each day with some of your favorite music.
37. Once in a while, take the scenic route.
38. Answer the phone with enthusiasm and energy in your voice.
39. Keep a note pad and pencil on your bed-side table. Million-dollar ideas sometimes strike at 3 a.m.
40. Show respect for everyone who works for a living, regardless of how trivial their job.
41. Send your loved ones flowers. Think of a reason later.
42. Make someone's day by paying the toll for the person in the car behind you.
43. Become someone's hero.
44. Marry only for love.
45. Count your blessings.
46. Compliment the meal when you're a guest in someone's home.
47. Wave at the children on a school bus.
48. Remember that 80 per cent of the success in any job is based on your ability to deal with people.
49. Learn from every mistake, you will make a lot of them.
50. Don't expect life to be fair.

I live by most of these instructions/rules but I need to embrace #31 more so than I have so far in life..

[Derranged]

I don't agree with all of those. I see no benefit of singing in the shower, whistling or waving to a bus filled with children. In fact in this day and age, a grown man waving at children he doesn't know might be taken the wrong way.

I added a few but I did stumble on it. I took some out and put some of my own in there though.
