Twenty One Life Rules
 
 

1. Give people more than they expect, and do it cheerfully.

 
  2. Marry a man or woman you love to talk to. As you get older, their conversational skills will be as important as any other.
 
 

3. Do not believe all you hear, do not spend all you have, and do not 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 do not have dreams do not have much.

  14. Remember that great love and great achievements involve great risk.
 
 

15. Say 'God Bless You' when you hear someone sneeze.

 
  16. When you lose, do not lose the lesson.

Respect for self;
Respect for others;
Responsibility for your actions.

 
  18. Do not let a little dispute injure a great friendship.
 
 

19. When you realize you have made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct your mistake.

 
  20. Smile when picking up the phone. The caller will hear your smile in your voice.
