Here's
something really great that I got in an e-mail the other day. I normally
detest chain letters absolutely. This one I liked, but instead of
forwarding it, I'm going to post it here. :)
The
following is a Chinese Good Luck Tantra Totem
You
may not believe in this, but the advice is great!
Read
all the way down, you might discover something new!!!
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.
FIVE.
When
you say, "I'm sorry," look the person in 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 dreams. 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. Please 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.
SIXTEEN.
When
you lose, don't lose the lesson.
SEVENTEEN.
Remember
the three R's:
Respect
for self;
Respect
for others;
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.
{Of
course... in the e-mail this was followed by chain mail stuff.. promises
of good fortune if you forward it to so many people in such and such a
time, but I'll leave all that drivel out. ;p) |
