| Instructions for Life in the New Millennium from the Dalai Lama: | ||
| Take into account that great love and great achievements involve great risk. | ||
| When you lose, don't lose the lesson. | ||
| Follow the three Rs: Respect for self, respect for others, responsibility for all your actions. | ||
| Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck. | ||
| Learn the rules so you know how to break them properly. | ||
| Don't let a little dispute injure a great friendship. | ||
| When you realize you've made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it. | ||
| Spend some time alone every day. | ||
| Open your arms to change, but don't let go of your values. | ||
| Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer. | ||
| Live a good, honorable life. Then, when you get older and think back, you'll be able to enjoy it a second time. | ||
| A loving atmosphere in your home is the foundation for your life. | ||
| In disagreements with loved ones, deal only with the current situation. Don't bring up the past. | ||
| Share your knowledge. It's a way to achieve immortality. | ||
| Be gentle with the earth. | ||
| Once a year, go someplace you've never been before. | ||
| Remember that the best relationship is one in which your love for each other exceeds your need for each other. | ||
| Judge your success by what you had to give up in order to get it. | ||
| Approach love and cooking with reckless abandon | ||
| This
is what The Dalai Lama has to say on the millennium, which actually begins 01/01/2001 (not 01/01/00). |
