good advice

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

Give people more than they expect and do it cheerfully;
Marry a man/woman 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 dreams. 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; 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.
