21 Things to Remember

cross posted over here ---->>>21 Things to Remember
 
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.

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.
 
*love them all, but this one is great!

That is very good advice, especially the last one. Alot of clearing of the mind happens when you can spend some time alone. really alone, not when the kids are sleeping, but away out of the house alone...

I do like the one about finding a partner who is a good conversationalist.  Yes, I can witness that as you grow older that quality means a lot.  Doc and I spend hours in conversation. He is the best, very funny, very smart, honest.   Gerry
