This is something I would like to share with everyone. Live your life to the fullest. Enjoy reading.™ :Give people more than they expect and give it cheerfully. :Memorize your favorite poem. :Don't believe all you hear. Spend all you have and sleep all you want. :When you say, "I love you," mean it. :When you say, "I'm sorry," look the person in the eye. :Re-engage at least six months before getting married. :Believe in love at first sight. :Never laugh at anyone's dreams. :Love deeply and passionately. You 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 say, "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 your actions. :Don't let a little dispute injure a great friendship. :When you realize you've made a mistake, take immediate actions to correct it. :Smile when picking up the phone, the caller will hear it in your voice. :Marry a man/woman who you love to talk to. As you get older, your 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 the best answer. :Read more books and watch less T.V. :Live a good honorable life. When you get older and think back, you'll get to enjoy it the second time. :Trust in God but lock your car. :A loving atmosphere in your home is important. Do all you can to create a tranquil harmonious home. :In disagreement 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 to it. :Never interrupt when you are being flattered. :Mind your own business. :Don't trust a man/woman who doesn't close his/her eyes when you kiss. :Once a year, go to a place you've never been before. :If you're making 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 when your love for each other is greater than your need for each other. :Judge your success by what you have to give up in order to get it. :Remember that your character is your destiny. :Approach love and cooking with reckless abandon.

I've read it from some book, too, and then decided to share it to anyone possible. I follow most of it, though. And I developed a habit of re-reading it because it's just soo nice to read...and to apply to every life situation. Enjoy life!™
