Good advice (in life / help / ) by Bill — 2017-08-19

The following is a Chinese good luck tantra totem (a fancy way of saying good advice):

1. Give people more than they expect and do it cheerfully;
2. Marry a man/woman you love to talk to. As you get older, their conversational skills will be as important as any other;
3. Don't believe all you hear, spend all you have or sleep all you want;
4. When you say, "I love you," mean it;
5. When you say, "I'm sorry," look the person in the eye;
6. Be engaged at least six months before you get married;
7. Believe in love at first sight;
8. Never laugh at anyone's dreams. People who don't have dreams don't have much;
9. Love deeply and passionately. You might get hurt but it's the only way to live life completely;
10. In disagreements, fight fairly. No name calling;
11. Don't judge people by their relatives;
12. Talk slowly but think quickly;
13. When someone asks you a question you don't want to answer, smile and ask, "Why do you want to know?";
14. Remember that great love and great achievements involve great risk;
15. Say "bless you" when you hear someone sneeze;
16. When you lose, don't lose the lesson;
17. Remember the three R's: Respect for self; Respect for others; Responsibility for all your actions;
18. Don't let a little dispute injure a great friendship;
19. When you realize you've made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it;
20. Smile when picking up the phone. The caller will hear it in your voice;
21. Spend some time alone.
